Go at lunchtime. (Sets you up for a good siesta). Order the cabrito with cerveza.

You will thank me and you will be on your way to loving San Antonio. ;)

Man, I haven't been there in years.... maybe I should meet ya there!

Post by: midnight Target on June 20, 2005, 04:14:54 PM: Dad used to live in SA. Great food, one of the finest downtown areas of any major US city, and more scorpions than I have ever seen in my life!

Course he lived on the outskirts of town near some woods.

Post by: Gunslinger on June 20, 2005, 05:36:54 PM: I wont actually be moving until April of 2006 but just having orders in hand gives a military family some sort of order from the unexpected.

The only bad part is I will be completing most of MTI (Military Training Instructor) school in the summer.

Post by: Lizard3 on June 20, 2005, 07:42:36 PM: My Dad used to tell me stories of people who went down by the River and didn't come back, course that was WAAAAY back. He was there for Tech School in the late 50's or early 60's. I hear its a model for revitalizing downtowns.

Post by: sling322 on June 20, 2005, 09:57:40 PM: Cool Guns.....San Antonio is one of my favorite cities in Texas. I lived there for a while in my early college years. Would love to go back and live there if the opportunity arose. Actually going to be there this weekend for some drum corps stuff. We are playing in front of the Alamo on Sunday and then again down on the riverwalk along with all the other Texas corps from Dallas, Seguin and San Antonio.

Welcome to the promised land my friend. BTW, if you don't know Spanish already, I suggest learning some. It will come in handy in S.A. :)
