FLAME ON

People, the Alamo was the scene of a famous battle.  It is not now, and
never was, an important or impressive architectural site!  Some people
might prefer the movie set which is somewhere west of San Antonio.

FLAME OFF

I really enjoyed touring all of the old Spanish missions and the Spanish
governor's house.  A packet of tickets that covers the entry fee for all
the sites is available at a discount.  It can be purchased at most of
the sites.  The tour is self-guided and you really need a car to get to
some of the places.  I'm sure tours with transportation are available.

The only other thing I can add to Prentiss Riddle's fine guide to San
Antonio is that I prefer the sweet potato empanadas at "Mi Tierra's" to
the sweet bread  :-)


I wonder if 80 miles is too far to go for coffee break?
