I'll be in San Antonio This Weekend

[basil]

Hey I will be in San Antonio this weekend for a trade show. It is the AWWA annual convention and our company is setting up a booth. Anyone have any cigar shop suggestions while I am down there. Also any sites that we should go see. We have some free time to wander around. We will be definatly hitting the bars every night. I read in the news that a while ago they were arresting people for being drunk inside the bars so hopefully they have stopped that by the time that we get down there. I think that between my dad and I we could do some serious damage.

Sights: You gotta check out the River Walk. It's a stretch of river with restaurants, bars w/live music, some shopping - much of it river level. Some restaurants on the river (dining boats), other stuff too - river taxis, etc. It's beautiful and clean.

And, the Alamo. Hands down, no shit, no way can you leave SA w/o seeing where Crockett, Travis, Bowie, and Co. made their last stand.

There's an IMAX close to the River Walk.

Other stuff

Cigars. Don't know SA that well, but I'll bet money there's a cigar shop on the River. If not, there'll be a ton of 'em in the Yellow Pages.

RiverWalk is great I was there in Dec 04. pleny of things to do and I am sure you will meet some Mavericks fans also since they made the finals.

There are enough cigar shops in the area and steaks are amazing

Have fun and take some pics

Yep - do the Riverwalk - the Alamo's right outside the back door - literally.... No, really - you walk out the back door (near the Morton's Steak House) and it's right there... You think I'm kidding don't you...

Inside of the Riverwalk mall there's a place called Latin Gold - they roll the cigars right there. And ther are GOOD, GOOD GOOD!! Check 'em out...

You also gotta go to Rudy's BBQ. There's one in Leon Springs (just north of San Antonio). Well worth the trip...
