The Alamo!

Got the San Antonio rather late on Monday and The Alamo isn’t open late. The river walk was near, so I headed over and got in a good stroll along the river walk. Down one side and the other. I had dinner at one of the restaurants that was open. Good food, but, service at 11 at night is always a bit suspect.
In the morning, I walked around the Alamo a few times as it doesn’t open at 7am when I got up, but at 9am. So I wandered the river walk again…

The Alamo is free, so that is a bonus. Interesting that it seems much smaller than I would have originally though. But, I guess it was an outpost along the river in the middle of nowhere for the most part. Glad I visited the Alamo! They have a bunch of interesting artifacts on display, and the grounds are nice. The Live Oak tree that was transplanted still growing away.
From San Antonio I headed to Snook, TX (below) for my Chicken Fried Bacon lunch!
