The River Walk

We truly enjoyed our visit to San Antonio, Texas.  We stayed at a lovely little RV park called Hidden Valley on the southwest side of the city.  With our PA discount, it cost $66 for 3 days and we were only a 15 minute drive from the downtown area.  The park was quiet -- no highway or street noise. Nice.....

We spent 2 days in the area.  First we visited the Alamo and enjoyed the tour very much.  Free unless you want to rent the audio tour devices which were just $6 per person.  Very interesting historical site.

The River Walk is a beautiful area of San Antonio, and likely unique in the world. You stroll the sidewalks around a loop in the river located in the downtown area.  We took a few photos but you have to visit there to truly appreciate it. 

It is hard to believe that the River Walk area was first re-developed in the 1920's but most of the current hotels, etc were added in 1968 at the time of the HemisFair.

After the River Walk, we decided to hike to the Mexican Market Square and passed some beautiful  historical buildings along the way.
