San Antonio, TX and the Alamo .

Today we did the Grand Tour sightseeing from San Antonio. Included in the tour was of course the Alamo, a riverboat ride, Mission Concepcion & San Jose, Japanese Sunken Gardens, Buckhorn Saloon & Museum and El Mercado. Tour was finished around 5.00 pm and brought back to the campground after that. We decided to go back downtown at 7.00pm to do the "Ghost Hunt" tour with Martin Leal (http://www.bestsanantonioghosttours.com/). 90 minute walking tour downtown (with lots of good "ghost" stories), and then the search for ghosts around the Alamo !
Wonderful and long day.
Check out some nice pictures (you can double click on every picture to enlarge).

Can you spot the ghost "Antonio" that showed up during the ghost tour at the museum from the Alamo ? (I got more different pictures from the same time if you want, amazing !).

Good Night !

Today we started our tour in San Diego at Old town.....finding a parking spot for the RV on a public parking lot wasn't easy but we managed ! Old Town Trolley is just great and easy to explore the whole city. Checked out a few historic ships like the Star of India and Berkeley that has been seen on TV at Ghost Hunters ! Checked out Seaport Village,Marina,Gas lamp Quarter,Coronado Ferry landing, Balboa Park and of course Little Italy. http://www.trolleytours.com/san-diego/pictures.asp .
Tours ended at 5.30pm , picked up the RV and drove about 1.5 hrs to a campground in El Centro where we took a swim and relaxed in the jacuzzi. Great day today !
