So now I've been in San Antonio for 24 hours and learned quite a bit.

• Look over street crossing bridges, or you may miss the River Walk
• Take the River Walk Boat Tour for $7.50, it is worth the 30 minute ride to see the sites
• The Alamo closes at 5:00, so plan to see it during the day - FREE and tour guides are everywhere and you can learn a lot.
• Some hotels have a nice complimentary breakfast.
  
• Don't take the trolley tour for $16.95, but take the street cars trolleys for $1 each trip. Get a transfer for FREE and return to original point within 2 hours.
• Take the street car to the Market Place and go through all the buildings finding bargains on jewelry, crafts and trinkets.
• Eat at MiTierra, just as the websites recommend, it is outstanding Mexican food and reasonably priced.
• Walk along the whole River Walk, stop and have a Margarita or iced tea along the way. No I didn't say have one at each place - be picky about where you stop.
• Good Barbque can be found at The County Line on the RiverWalk.
• Finally, I have signed up for a Segway Tour at 6PM tonight. It is a 2.5 hour tour for $60, so I will let you know later how it goes. It was awesome! It is a bit pricey at $60, but for 2 and 1/2 hours we rolled al over San Antonio with a great guide. We even went on a very secluded part of the RiverWalk, through the King William section (a must), everywhere! We did the 6PM tour and it was much cooler than the 2 PM tour. Good for geeks and non geeks!
• Combo of Mango and Strawberry margarita at Lone Star - excellent!
