After all the years we have been comimg to and living in San Antonio a visit to the Alamo is always a must.
It happens to be Spring break for schools and so many others felt the need to come out to see this important icon of the war between Mexico and America.
The Riverwalk is always a good place to dine and to enjoy the sights of the river. The walk to the actual riverboat area is dotted with lots of plants and water features.
The Riverwalk skirts both sides of the river which snakes throughout the city. Boat rides are available and a must as the sightseerer gets the full history of the city.
Each side of the river offers lots of restaurants where the diner can enjoy music from a Mariachi Band. These are small, strolling, Mexican bands consisting usually of trumpters, guitarists and violinists.
We enjoyed lunch whilst the band played. The appertizers included gumbo and a crab and spiced shrimp with lemon butter and rice.
The main we shared which was spiced tuna with rice pilaf, beans and soy and ginger sauce.
This was the view from our table.
On the walk back to the Almo there are many magnificant buildings.
Cheers,
Beverley and Ross
