We first went to the Buckhorn Saloon and Restaurant where there were head mounts of all kinds of animals and many with very "non-typical" antler racks.
We walked by the Alamo again but this time noticed the old oak trees with their unusually long branches.
Next, we went to the historical Menger Hotel where many well-known persons have stayed. The most notable was Theodore Roosevelt who recruited his Rough Riders who fought in the Spanish-American War from the bar of the Menger Hotel. Walking through the hotel was like walking back in time.
Now when was the last time you saw a phone booth in a hotel?
Inside the hotel was a hall full of old pictures and memorabilia...
...of past guests like Teddy Roosevelt (pictured in the middle with his Rough Riders)...
...and Babe Ruth (pictured in the middle of his New York Yankee teammates).
Our last stop of the day was a trip to the top of the Tower of the Americas...
...from where we could see most of downtown San Antonio.
Thanks Terry & Gloria and Warren & Joslyn for a WONDERFUL time in San Antonio! Can't wait to see you again!
