San Antonio, Texas

Not long after Ching Leong arrived in Austin, some time in February, we made a trip to San Antonio, south of Austin. For those interested to visit this unique small town, park your car at designated per entry parking lot and you can basically cover the town just by walking. Having my pedometer with me, i recorded 20k+ steps for this trip :)

Town view


River Walk


Shots taken at the Alamo - Built in 1724, the old mission was famous for the role it played in Texas revolution where a brave band of Texans fight against the Mexican Army. The death of the Alamo defenders has come to symbolize courage and the Alamo has since become a symbol of patriotic sacrifice.





San Fernando Cathedral - founded in 1731 and is the the oldest, continuously functioning religious community in the State of Texas.



A church wedding - kind of classy but I guess we will never got to see all black attires in a Chinese wedding


A nice mural with mosaics


Market Square


Tower of America - trying out some zoom effect


We had our dinner at the River Walk before heading home.
