I'm writing a book that is set in San Antonio and for accuracy need help researching the city and surrounding area.
I'm looking for email contact with someone or someones who would be willing to anwser any questions I have regarding culture, architecture, atmosphere etc and possibly share photographs online as a visual aid.
Please contact me if you're willing to answer my questions. This may be an ongoing thing.
Thank you in advance,
Ginny
Hmm... I noticed you're from the UK so i'm curious to know how you came up with the idea to write a book about San Antonio?
I'm not a native of SAT, but i've been living here, on and off, for the last 10 years. So go ahead and throw the questions on me.
saludos,
Fernando

Although San Antonio is about 2 hours away from the US/Mexico border, there is still a huge influence of Spanish/Mexican culture in thiw city. In fact, the majority of the city's population are of Latin ethnicity.
As the Spanish say..."Esta BIen!"
As you probably notice as you guild ever so slightly under at three historical iron bridges. These bridges date back as far 1880. They are an intricate part of the Riverwalk and are continuously maintained within keeping of their historical detail.
Presa Street Bridge, Augusta Street Bridge, and Commerce Street Bridge are the oldest.
I regret waiting so long to enter my thoughts on VT, for now I have forgotten exactly what we had to eat at this restaurant. However, I do remember remarking at the time what wonderful meals we had and that the service was superb. I have since recommended this restaurant to several others headed to San Antonio and would the same to my VT friends.
There are many Resturants and cafe's here, all with different types of cuisine.
And most have an outside eating area, so you can enjoy your meal, right beside the river. I had Mexican, and seafood on another occasion. Both were delicious :)
The Queen of the San Antonio Missions is Mission San José y San Miguel de Aguayo. This particular mission went under a major reconstruction project in 1930 to keep its history and architecture in tact. This particular mission is rather unique, as the location is actually owned by both a church and the National Parks Service. In a true testament to how church and state can interact positively for the community, the overall mission area is looked after by the National Park Service, while the church and sanctuary inside the mission is still used as an active Catholic church.
The best guesses to the age of this mission are around 250 years, however the area was much smaller around that time.
The National Park Service is mainly based at Mission San José y San Miguel de Aguayo for the overall San Antonio Missions National Historic Park, and the visitor center there contains information for all the parks, as well as is the location to start the walking tour. The walking tour conducted by the National Park Service is free to join, and was very informative for us.
