Out and About in San Antonio

It was mentioned in the previous blog that we had been to see 'Elvis Lives' at the Majestic Theatre.  It is a very nice Theatre and was built in 1929 and is located on 226 East Houston Street in downtown San Antonio, Texas. The Majestic Theatre has a seating capacity of 2,311 and Majestic was listed on the National Register of Historical Places in 1975 and also designated a National Historic Landmark in 1993.




It is a very decorative theatre inside with an amazing foyer.


After leaving the theatre it was a just short walk back to the hotel.  The city was delicately decorated with lights which made the walk so much more enjoyable.

  1. San Antonio is a very historic city and has many churches one if which is St Mary's Catholic Church.  To know more about this church have a look at :Saint Mary's Catholic Church - DOWNTOWN San Antonio




Yes, Ross does go to church.


San Antonio is now the 7 th largest city in the USA and this is what the traffic is like on a normal day going to work.  This morning it took 30 minutes to get off the 1604 loop to get onto HW281.  You never want to be in a hurry to get anywhere at this time of the day.


We are now in the 4th year of living in the Texas and each day we learn something new.  If you have not had the opportunity to visit this historic city you should think about coming for a holiday.

Cheers Beverley and Ross
