San Antonio

If you had two disparate days in San Antonio, what would you do?

This is not a trick question. Nor a rhetorical one.

Isn't that where the Alamo is? And something called 'the riverwalk'? Surely on something called a riverwalk there would have to places to eat, drink, and buy yarn...

There is! Alamo and Riverwalk. But, like so many things, the locals seem to revile the Riverwalk as a tourist trap and the Alamo as something you had to do in the third grade, so I'm not finding useful tourist feedback from the local review sites.

I do plan to eat on the Riverwalk. When I was a kid, we stopped there on our move from Houston to Winter Park, Colorado, and I have fond memories of a beautiful night outdoors on a deck with candles.

Haha! I would so go to the Alamo.

But maybe that's because I am still sort of stuck in third grade, you know...

Don't forget to get a margarita, I have fond flashbacks of awesome 'ritas and the rest is well...gone.

What do the San Antonio ravelry groups have to say for their city? Surely there are one or two groups...

I'm with you, IN. I tend to do third grade sorts of museum things when I'm touristing, so I don't think I can listen to the voices in the crowd.

Sunday may be a good margarita day. Dad says he had the best Mexican food he ever had (and with six years in Texas and growing up in Colorado, that's saying something) in San Antonio. Surely they have the margaritas to match.

I thought about Ravelry. The thought frightens me. So many voices... Yeah, I probably should.
