Thanks for the pictures! I love good architecture. You just gave me a real reason to want to see Texas, or at least San Antonio.

San Antonio is one of our favorite getaway places...be there next month for a long weekend. Great pictures.

Thanks for the tour. SA is one place on my bucket list.
Who is the artist that did the murals? I am trying to think of his name who I think may have done it, but it won't
come to my mind right now. I had 2 posters he did, but they are no longer with me.

Awesome tour. I grew up in El Paso and even lived in Dallas/Fort Worth area for 10 years... have NEVER been to San Antonio. Need to go there.

San antonio is such a wonderful place to visit.. They have a nite boat tour on the Riverwalk. the buildings and shops are all lit up... the building that is triangle shaped is part of the tour and looks like a boat coming at you at night. Another part of the tour they show you a building where a seed took root on the side of a building and has been growing sideways .. looks like its coming out of the wall.. You can find mariachi's in most of the restaurants... the alamo is a must visit as well..

Wow - how great to see those places again. Lived in San Antonio for 7 years and really miss it. One of the best places I have ever been. I'm sure Jill and her friend really had a great time
