At the end of 2009 we visited our sister in-law who are now living with her family in San Antonio, Texas. Frankly speaking, we did not expect a lot about this city. Having know that San Antonio is laid in the very south state of the country, with border to Mexico, has given our mind our own picture of this city. We imagined that San Antonio is a dry area, deserts, with a number of old buildings and stiff people.
We were, more than 500% wrong. Today, San Antonio celebrates its diversity –its Mexican, German, European and Native American heritage. The city sometimes resembles a Tex-Mex Disneyland. At Christmas the San Antonio river twinkles with 70,000 lights carolers serenade passers-by from parades of barges, a mariachi extravaganza takes over the Municipal Auditorium, and sugar, raisin, and nut tamales are made.
A San Antonian can have taquitos for breakfast at the Blanco Cafe; guacamole cups for lunch at Teka Moleno; and dinner of grilled shrimp with Cilantro at Rosario, or mofofo, a mixed grill with rice and beans, at Los Bar owned by Ugandan native Sammy Lalji, who serves Pacific Rim cuisine; and Biga, run by Bruce Olden, the celebrated creator of new Texas cuisine. His specialties include game dishes, such as venison chilli wrapped in lettuce leaves.
For your knowledge there are two things one should know about San Antonio natives. They never say “San Antone” and they also rarely visit the Alamo. It is, however, worth a trip inside the former garrison to see the local heroes’ personal possession –a couple of Davy Crockett’s rifles, a ring owned by Spanish-American war veteran William Barret Travis. The souvenir shop, almost as large as the museum itself, is filled with Texan kitsch—coonskin hats, bowie knives, and 1836 recipe books. In early December the San Antonio Living History Association reenacts the 1836 Battle of Bexar, when the Alamo was finally lost but not without heavy losses on the Mexican side.
Finish with that we step across the street to the Menger Hotel, where Teddy Roosevelt recruited his Rough Riders for the Spanish-American war, and spend time to eat some of the best mango ice cream in Texas. Well, this we should admit, is at the moment a very nice place to be. The San Antonio local goverment preserves the old buildings and harmoniously combined with the touch of present era, like the KWN321 wall-heater and so on. At different part of San Antonio, still an ancient area, we also found a vintage hotel with business center with Epson WorkForce840 all-in-one printer and a fitness area with ProForm Trailrunner 4.0. San Antonio is definitely extraordinary.
