San Antonio, Texas

It was a long day's drive from New Orleans to San Antonio, Texas! 9 hours! Vasili did a great job and it was his idea to go so far in a day. We jumped into the HOT jacuzzi upon arrival! Nicolas was excited the pool was heated! The nights were cold in San Antonio! We had to break out our warm jammies again! (after having put them away in Florida)

We found our way to The Alamo and the River Walk the next day! The Alamo was originally a mission built in 1724! But it is most famous for the battle that took place there in 1846, where 186 men gave their lives for Texas' independence from Mexico. Remember the Alamo!

Louisiana's marshes and bajou ~
this was our view for hours! The freeway is even
built up on stilts the whole way.
Our greeting to the Great state of Texas!
The Alamo!

Here we are along the River Walk
We took a boat ride along the beautiful San Antonio River
The River Walk area was so romantic and charming!

There's shopping and dining along the River
