Serene San Antonio

Alamo Mission
Cathedral of San Fernando
Mission San Jose


San Antonio, it was love at first sight for me. My son drove us to this city, about 200 miles from Houston.And we checked into very nice hotel here.

Next day we went for the Alamo Mission, Alamo Memorial and the famous River walk.The River runs between the city and on both sides, there are stylish restaurants and lots of flower beds.

For me it was like walking into some dream land that came alive by people and live bands. The Spanish culture is visible in form of architectures and those unforgettable stylish Spanish villas. All those romantic novels of 'Mill and Boon' series can fit impeccably into this scenario, of what we saw while walking across serene neighborhood. This river walk had left deep imprints onto my mind.Though I could not walk much, but whatever I could do was enough, I was thanking my stars that I could come here to this beautiful city and  could savor its awesome view and delicious food. I am not sure whether I would be able to come here again, in spite of my heartfelt secret desire.

Till then I want to share my experience of this beautiful city with you guys.

How we all wish sometimes that if time could stop still. If that is possible I would love to be at this place.
