Home to the Worlds Fair in 1968, San Antonio is a nice, quiet, and clean city with a lot to see and do. The most famous historical landmark in Texas is the Alamo and that is the center of this city. Nearby is the 750 foot Tower of the Americas that gives visitors a 360 degree view of the entire city. The walls facing the glass have panoramic pictures of the city that show where everything is in the city. On the wall behind you is the story of the Alamo and the battles for Texas between Spain, France, and Mexico. Then there is the well known Riverwalk – canals thru the center of the city with shops, restaurants, and music along the river’s edge. Ducks, pigeons, and other birds entertain you as you have lunch while also watching the electric tour boats glide quietly along. On the north side of the city is a really great botanical garden. South of the city center is the King William Historic District, a collection of beautiful homes built by wealthy Germans All together, a great place to live, other than for the string of 100+ degree days during the summer.
