i'm going to be in san antonio texas next month to visit my parents, are there any orgers in the area? if so, what are the places to visit/see? and if you live there maybe we can meet-up for a lunch or a cup of coffee during my stay.

I ota live like three hours from San Antonio but my visa expired so I can't go to the US

Awww. If it was Dallas/Fort Worth I'd say sure!!

How are your parents liking it?

I would say if you were heading to Dallas, I could make a road trip. Would be awesome to meet you in person!!!

i remember back in the late 80's when i was at UT and went to san antonio---the alamo was like next to a dillard's department store

There's a mall at the end of the Riverwalk with the river running through it next to the Alamo.

I love the riverwalk. The NBA All-Star weekend there was so much fun cuz the Riverwalk was the only place to go in SA at the time.

yeah, too bad i'm not going to be in that area! how many hours away is dallas from san antonio?

SCNDLS said:

my dad loves it there! he seems a lot happier, he really likes his job there too! my mom hates it though! she says compared to northern california there isn't much beauty there, not enough trees, etc. i've never been there before so i wouldn't know. having lived in northern california for many years, and now living in the south bay area i do know california is beautiful, places like the sierra nevada mountains, lake tahoe, carmel, etc. she says she hasn't seen anything that's very pretty in texas so far. so i'm curious to see it for myself.

Fury said:

how funny!

kimrachell said:

She needs to leave SA, but the hill country is only about 30-45 minutes away and there's lots of nature and trees but it is rather dry. Remember, Texas is larger than most countries and covers a lot of territory. So, just about every type of landscape can be found here if you're willing to travel. For more trees, she needs to come up to East Texas which has tons of pine forests. But Texas is VAST.

SCNDLS said:

you're right! i'll tell her that she needs to venture out more and see some of the areas outside san antonio. she hates that it's so dry around the area she lives.

The further West you go the more desert like it gets, the further East is more humid. It really is like a country unto itself cuz if you live in the central part of the state it can take HOURS to get to another state.

kimrachell said:

275 miles..
and up to 4.5 hours away..

Alej said:

Where you be from....

Yes, I've strangled the Kings English on purpose.

Alej said:

Visa? México? Boy, you betta' walk, drive, motorbike on over across the border.

TD3 said:

I can't get a visa cause I don't have a job, therefore I'm a potential illegal migrant
