These are photos of my trip to San Antonio, to visit my sister, brother and nephews.
My brother and sister sitting along the Riverwalk in San Antonio, talking.
Riverboat dining. Once the food is brought out, the boat begins its tour along the river.
The former Nix Hospital, where my grandmother was a nurse in the newborn nursery on the 23rd floor. She worked there 30 years.
The Alamo, of course. The plaza is torn up in some ridiculous attempt to make it into a touristy theme park. But at least the painting of John Wayne in his movie The Alamo is gone from the gift shop.
Casa Rio, the first restaurant on the Riverwalk. Serves so-so Mexican food but it's been there for nearly 70 years and started the riverboat dining. Behind it is the Hilton Palacio del Rio, which was built using pre-fabricated rooms that were then stacked onto each other, in 1967, for Hemisfair.
Lunch at Schilo's German Deli. They make their own sauerkraut and root beer. Best ever.
Also had dinner with one nephew at a Rudy's, which offers a great brisket and excellent BBQ sauce, and we talked for hours. Tomorrow is the drive down to Aransas Pass and Christmas.
