Beautiful, I haven't been there in 46 years and you have brought back good memories.

Very nice photos. I've been there and you did a good job getting the flavor of the place. (No Alamo shots?)

Between Christmas and New Year's Day we treated some out of town guests to a 1-day visit to San Antonio. With the driving time of 3 hours each way and spending about 8 hours there, it was a long day. But it was also an enjoyable day, and to top it off, I was able to capture some photos that I was pleased with. So here are but a few of the images that I was able to bring back from the Alamo City. Comments welcomed and I hope you enjoy.
PS: All photos hand held.

Nice pix, especially of the riverwalk!

Very good set. My daughter went there for an education conference a few years ago. She thought it was a beautiful city.

Enjoyed your images. Haven't been to SA in decades. I keep thinking I'll go back, but there are SO many places in the world to visit!

Great pictures!
Brought back some good memories of time spent there getting a Masters degree at Trinity University. On your next trip, may I suggest you tour the Trinity campus. Their cafeteria, above the bookstore, has a panoramic view of downtown San Antonio and the Graduate building has beautiful, 12 ft.high, hand-carved doors. The whole campus is built on what was once a gravel pit and is beautiful.
I probably will never get back there so please take and share more pictures.

I have taken some of the same photos in San Antonio's River Walk. Yours are much better than mine. Great shots.

Nice shots. It has really changed since I last saw it in 69 or 70. Love the river shots.

Very familiar with the Riverwalk. My first experience was in 1955 long before it became a main SA tourist attraction. In later years I travelled extensively to SA on business and became very familiar with the newer version. My daughter was married at an old church near the river and following the ceremony, the wedding party took a ride down the river. Enjoyed your shots.

Very nice shots. San Antonio is a great place to visit. Before I retired my work took me there about every 3 months. I always tried to stay at a hotel by the Riverwalk. I have had dinner in that Mexican restaurant. I was there in 1966 for basic training at Lackland AFB. I never got to see the city back then but I am told that I didn't miss much. It has become a very nice city.
