After a long drive today we arrived in San Antonio, the site of a famous American landmark, the Alamo, where Davy Crockett and about 100 Americans fought and died defending a fort called the Alamo from close to 5000 Mexican soldiers. it was interesting to see such a well-preserved building in the middle of the city and was quite interesting. We also saw quite a few US Air Force members walking around in their dress uniforms, clearly there had been a parade or something on nearby, I saw about 25 different Air Force members just walking around, which was a little bit of a surprise.
We also saw the River walk, through San Antonio is a rather large river which they had planned to divert through tunnels, but instead made a pathway along either side with restaurants, shops and even a theater, it is quite beautiful and was much cooler than the hot streets at around lunch time. We'll be heading on to Big Bend national park tomorrow, and will be spending the night quite far away from civilization, hopefully i'll get some good pictures there!
