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.

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
