While making our way across Texas we made a quick stop at the Alamo in San Antonio. The Alamo is fascinating piece of Texas history. The Alamo is open during specific hours during the day so if you do plan an touring this historic sight make sure to allow yourself enough time to tour the compound prior to it's closing. There is also a great timeline of the history of the Alamo located inside, which you will want to make sure you take the time to catch up on it's history if, like me, you don't have a an understanding of the Alamo as it relates to the history of Texas.
After spending a few hours touring the Alamo we enjoyed an early dinner at San Antonio's uniquely designed shopping plaza's called the Riverwalk. It is a beautifully designed shopping district with restaurants and shops located along the San Antonio River which cuts through the heart of San Antonio. One attribute that makes the Riverwalk intriguing is that it is located 2 stories below street level.
A word of caution...when eating outside under a heavily treed area, sit under an umbrella! Un-suspecting diners can become an easy target for large birds overhead who feel the need to relieve themselves on diners below! We were about 2 inches away from a messing disaster.
