I do not have one favorite...
by courtneymay
I do not have one favorite thing about S.A. I love so many things about my home. See the Riverwalk and the Alamo. Eat Mexican food. Go see the Spurs, the Missions, or the Iguannas. Fiesta Texas. SeaWorld. Take a trip into the nearby Hill Country. Bar-B-Q is pretty good around here too! Dont forget to go the the Tower of the Americas. My fondest memory of San Antonio is the night view from the Tower. There's not many things that can compare.
Veterans' Reunion
by Maria250
DEFINITION OF A VETERAN
A Veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard
or reserve - is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank
check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of
"up to and including my life".
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this
country, who no longer understand it.

Harley Davidson or BUST!
by Cherie_J
Many of the Harley dealerships will allow to rent a Harley if you have a motorcycle license. Rates vary and each June Austin hold a big ole rally where in they shut down all of 6th street! Expect to see 30,000 plus HOGS!
Great Tex-Mex at Guadalajara Grill
by MatthewMetcalfe about Guadalajara Grill
Located in San Antonio's La Villita Arts District, Guadalajara Grill serves up a variety of Mexican and Tex-Mex Dishes. I'm sure that it's a little touristy given it's location but I thought the food and drinks were awesome.
It's a Great place to stop for Lunch if you are poking through the Arts District or on your way to the Missions located south of San Antonio.
Because it's in a tourist area, it can get crowded at peak times. Be prepared to wait if you stroll in at 12:15 for lunch. Like most other Mexican Restaurants in San Antonio, Guadalajara just tastes better than Mexican food from "Back Home". The Salsa has more flavor, the main course is better, oh and the Margaritas... Let's not go there.
Mission Tour
by KiKitC
An interesting day trip is to visit the five missions in San Antonio.
The missions were established to convert more lands to Christianity, spread Spanish influence further and establish a strong economic security. Each mission was built to be self-sufficient, and protective for its residents. Built like forts, these religious centered missions either failed or boomed. The missions were set just far enough apart, that men, tools or arms could be transported to the next mission within a days trip. Now, thanks to better transportation, the entire mission tour can be completed in a day.
Visitors can get a glimpse of mission life in the restored Mission San Jose. Of course, the most famous of missions, the Alamo, can be found in the heart of the city. Many of the missions' chapels are still in use to this day, so please be respectful when visiting.
