Ok Ladies - Those doing the challenge, grab your water bottles and let's head out! Looks like the weather in San Antonio will be pretty nice, and there are some cool places to visit in the local area. I've provided you with a link below. WEATHER Sun May 13 80° Mon May 14 82° Tue May 15 86° Wed May 16 83° Thu May 17 82° Fri May 18 82° Sat May 19 82° http://www.sanantoniocvb.com/visitors/attractions.asp The Alamo On the east side of Alamo Plaza is the most famous spot in Texas where 189 defenders fell on March 6, 1836, after repeated attacks by Mexican General Santa Anna's army. Mission San Antonio de Valero (The Alamo) was established in 1718 as the city's first mission. The chapel, one of the most photographed facades in the nation, and the Long Barracks are all that remain of the original fort. Long Barracks Museum and Library are near the chapel. The museum contains relics and mementos from the Republic of Texas and offers narration on the fall of the Alamo. The Alamo is located in the heart of the city, inside beautifully landscaped grounds. Old Spanish Trail 3400 Fredericksburg Rd. ? San Antonio ? TX Phone: (210) 735-3503 [email protected] ? www.oldspanishtrailcentennial.com During the 1920s San Antonio's Gunter Hotel was the headquarters for the building of the southern U.S. transcontinental Auto Highway commemorated by the 0-Mile Stone on City Hall lawn. From St. Augustine, Florida to San Diego, California, the Old Spanish Trail links cities of Spanish conquest and settlement. The OST enters San Antonio on Seguin St. along I-35, proceeds south on New Braunfels Ave. to Houston St., west on Houston to Flores St., north along Flores and out Fredericksburg Rd., I-10 and Boerne Stage Rd. into the hill country. A decorative stone bench recognizing the OST is located at 3400 Fredericksburg Rd.
