If you're going to go to San Antonio, you have to stop by the Alamo. True heroism here, on both sides of the wall. Most folks think that Santa Anna assaulted the front of the Alamo. T'aint so. That front wall was located inside a large courtyard. Where PawPaw and Milady are standing was inside that court.
The other place every visitor to San Antonio needs to go is the Riverwalk. Located downtown, just blocks from the Alamo, the riverwalk is an eclectic blend of shops and restaurants and nightclubs. It's below street level, so it is eight to ten degrees cooler than the streets.
Tomorrow, we're going to piddle around San Antonio for a while, then head southwest, to Laredo.
While you're there, you have to visit at least one decent gun shop.
ReplyDeleteMake it Dury's, at 819 Hot Wells St.
210-533-5431 See John Kershaw there, and ask him to show you a Dury's Custom rifle, made on a Remington 700 Police. The one on his website, in .300 WSM, looks fantastic.
Tell "A.J." howdy from me, George. I just bought one of his ex-SAPD Glock 22's at auction, and he sounds like someone it would be intersting to meet.
The old place hasn't changed a bit since I stood right there in 1964. Wish I'd age as well.
