After the safari

We headed back to downtown San Antonio and headed to the Riverwalk for some lunch.

We saw the boat tours going down the river, and decided to go on one. We were not disappointed. The guide was really funny, and we learned a lot about the area too! I would recommend it if you are in the area.

Next we headed over to "Ripley's Believe It or Not!" museum, across from the Alamo. It took us over two hours to go through the whole thing. There was a lot of weird things, interesting things, and some just gross things. Was it worth over $15/ticket? That is debatable.

Then, we ate outstide next to the river at Casa Rio. The food was good, not the best Mexican food I've had, and the mariachi band was pretty good too.


Tuesday morning we headed over to the Alamo.


We started looking around the grounds and then heard an announcement that there would be a little Alamo history lesson. We decided to sit down and hear what he had to say. It was actually quite enlightening. Like learning what the "six flags over Texas" are. And that the battle there was not between the US and Mexico. (It was between the immigrants, brought to Mexico by the government, to settle the sparsely populated Texas region of Mexico, and the new dictator Santa Anna.) I always thought it was US vs Mexico....something which Hollywood has not helped in clarifying.



After we looked around the rest of the grounds, we headed to the IMAX across the street to see "The Alamo: The Price of Freedom". It was a good flick.

Then we left San Antonio to head back to Austin, by way of the outlet malls in San Marcos.

Good times, good times.
