This is the perfect reason to come to San Antonio. The River Walk has about 23 miles of walking/biking trails and has different parts for different purposes. 1. My choice is to take an attentive stroll on the River Walk and marvel at the commissioned artwork and landscape. The city spared no expense to make your walk immensely pleasurable, memorable, romantic and safe. Its well lit and paved for strollers, wheelchairs and seniors. Start at The Pearl to view the magnificent artwork. 2. The heart of the river is in downtown San Antonio. Plenty of restaurants and shops to choose from but a bit touristy. 3. Another great choice is to bike the trail to visit the historic Missions. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

After you see the Alamo, visit Mission Concepcion. Its the closest mission and is about 2 miles from downtown. Go on a bike to get the full experience. There are five other Missions along the trail that get overlooked so drive and make it a half day to enjoy all of them.

If you want the "real-deal" Tex-Mex this is the place. I grew up eating here at least twice a week, and still do. This is where the locals eat so the clientele has been eating here all their lives. The service is fast and the waitstaff yells out you order in a language only they know. Everything is delicious , but I highly recommend the Cheese Enchiladas and a sweet tea. $7
