ERNR,
Thanks for the information. I will mention some of the items to her. I
know she has gone out and shot some at the missions. Maybe we will revisit
them.
As for food, she is supposed to be a food afficionado, so I will see what
she is up to - whether we dine in or out.
I would mention a get together, but with the limited time and the schedule
I believe she has put together...
The unfriendly camera shop sounds interesting. Maybe I can pop in there
and have some fun!!!!
Hoping it won't be my only time in SA,
Cesar
Panama City, Florida

Totally unfamiliar with Fort Worth, so all my comments apply to San Antonio.
Camera shops: Not the best city in the world for those. We have a friendly
one, not exceptionally well-stocked -- Boyd's, at the corner of Blanco Road
and Lockhill-Selma. We have a well-stocked one with a reputation for
unfriendliness -- Camera Exchange on San Pedro Ave. By the way, in case you
do want to visit those shops, be aware neither one is open on Sundays.
Places to see: "World-class" zoo (with miniature railroad that is or was the
"world's longest"); four 18th-century missions (in addition to the Alamo --
the Shrine of Texas Liberty. The other four are less touristy and in fact
all
the chapels are still in regular use as chapels); some nice and some truly
horrific architecture. I may have even more ideas when I'm a bit more awake
:-) I just happen to have spent a lot of time shooting the zoo and the
missions.
Of course there's also the Riverwalk.
Places to eat: Recommendations would depend on what you like to eat.
Ken Archer will probably have additional suggestions.
