San Antonio is both a fun and historic place to visit. After living in Texas for 5 years and traveling to San Antonio several times on business, I finally took the time to visit the Alamo. Since it was August, we decided to visit the Alamo in the morning to avoid the 105-degree heat. You need to plan on spending at least 2 hours in order to have time to explore all the exhibits. When you enter the complex, you will notice people speak in hushed, quiet tones. There is an unspoken reverence as you walk the manicured paths and realize you are experiencing a part of American history.
We took the suggestion of a local and decided to eat at the Casa Rio located on Commerce Street and only about 4 blocks from the Alamo. Established in 1946, the food is authentic Mexican. It’s hard not to fill up on the chips and salsa but believe me you want to experience the food. We all ordered different entrees so that we could enjoy the different tastes and textures of each dish. The atmosphere and food are great along with being very affordable. Click Here to read more about San Antonio, Texas!
