San Antonio was our next stop. We read our book about a Comfort Inn in San Antonio that is a remodeled old Bexar County Jail building. After driving around the roads around and around (due to a lot of diagnal/one way streets...) we finally found our hotel. The staff there was friendly and very helpful. We parked our car and walked. We were only about 8 blocks from the Alamo and the Riverwalk. The weather was warm and very humid. This is a photo in the room. You can't tell from the photo, but the bars on the windows are still visible on the outside.
Our favorite spot was the River Walk. It was so nice to walk up and down the river banks. It is full of stores, restaurants, and plenty of places to just sit and watch people. We took the boat tour, which was about a one hour trip all around the river walk. We learned that Texas is the only state in the United States that can fly the state flag all by itself. We were told this is because Texas is the only state that used to be a country. Which brings us to our next stop, the Alamo.

Texas is a big state to explore in just one week. Looks like you both had a great time.
