San Antonio is a very historic city and the home of the Alamo where Davy Crockett, Travis and many others lost their lives fighting for the Republic of Texas. Each year the city remembers those who fought so bravely on this day (March 6). To know more have a look at http://www.thealamo.org
The River Walk in San Antonio is a hive of activity and after a walk around the inner city it was time for a cool drink. This the famous hurricane cocktail served at Pat O'Briens pub.
In the evening there is lots of great music.
You can even have your photo taken with a Texas long horn.
With the pretty River Walk as a back drop.
In Australia we call it Shrove / Pancake Tuesday, in Texas its called Fat Tuesday and this is a Texas shrimp cocktail Ross enjoyed on this day.
There are many fine restaurants in San Antonio and Fogo De Choa is one such place. It is located near the River Walk and is a real dining experience.
Here is Ross enjoying a prime cut of meat.
The dessert was most enjoyable as well. To see more go to www.yelp.com/biz/fogo-de-chao-san-antonio-san-antonio
We also visited Saint Joseph Church downtown where the cornerstone for the church was laid in 1868. It is a very beautiful church as you can see from the photos.
We have also had the opportunity to enjoy good times with dear friends and this evening was a dinner to celebrate 30 years of marriage of Liz and Dave. Liz is a sister of our much loved Maureen who passed from our lives 3 years ago on 19 February but remains always in our hearts.
Liz admires the cake her sister Theresa made for her and Dave.
Over the 2 + years we have now lived in SA you would have seen photos of our work mates. Today is Wayne's birthday and we celebrated his birthday with his family. Best wishes for a happy year Wayne.
On 22 March we depart on ourRhine River cruise so more to follow after we return from our European adventure.
Best wishes to all,
Beverley and Ross
