    San Antonio has always been the biggest city nobody knew about and I loved it. I wanted it peaceful but I noticed people has found us and the city is expanding. Most people didn't realize that other missions with its own history existed along the SA river and a $4.00 all day bus pass save visitors from carrying change or driving around the city plus a special city buse that take visitor to other Missions for a few bucks. As for the weather it's not always as hot as coastal cities unless South winds pushes north to San Antonio from the coast. Anyway we have a giant 2 part water park a few short mile's North of SA in New Braunfels Texas. A giant beautiful Brackenridge park, tall trees and the same with a free public pool in San Pedro park to cool off. You can picnic and be shaded by tall trees around both parks. I can go and on but that's plenty.

      I cannot agree more! Born and raised in SA, it was a beautiful gem of a city " under the radar " growing up but the word is out now. lol. You'd be surprise. SA has a bit of everything. Unlike Dallas and Houston which are flat, ..SA and Austin are scenic due to being in the Hill Country and we have the Mega Mansions and Historical Story book neighborhoods: Alamo Heights, Olmos, Terrill Hills, Monte Vista , King Williams, it really is an All American city. I use to hate SA when I was young, I wanted to be in a bigger and, 'more exciting city, ". so I left and I did. Coming back, I totally become thankful and appreciative of such a wonderful city with Southern Texas hospitality, I can travel anywhere to have a great time on vacation but still come home to my San Antonio. People here are genuinely nice to you and care. In California, I was indivisible and nobody cares about you. Family and love ones count in life , everything is just insignificant stuff we leave. I know I'm going off " the rails " but you get my drift. lol. I learned to appreciate and finally SEE the beautiful of San Antonio.

    I've set foot on 4 Continents and San Antonio is by far one of my favorite cities. La Cantera mall is so beautiful especially at Christmas. The Botanical Garden is also incredible. Hotel Contessa is my favorite place to stay on the Riverwalk and Southerleigh is my favorite brunch spot at The Historic Pearl. Beautiful vlog and noted spots I didn't know about which I'll will definitely check out during my trip next Spring 😁

      @@PriscillaGutierrez Oh I am so envious, I used to live down in Alamo Ranch a couple of years ago, but missed my family and moved back home to San Diego right before the Pandemic lockdown. I miss SA dearly, she is a huge part of my soul ❤. I loved stopping by the Kendra Scott store in La Cantera, unique jewelry. The Culinaria 5K is coming up at La Cantera and oh my gosh, that is one of my favorite Fall/Halloween 5Ks. They do all kinds of vendors and alcohol treats after, but it was always too early for me to enjoy drinking, I just enjoyed the atmosphere, so much fun! I hope you and your family are well and I will enjoy checking out more of your vlogs.

I hope to sometime in the near future to visit San Antonio with my husband (who was born in Boston, Massachusetts) because he's never been there. We're watching this video together and he's now looking forward to visiting San Antonio. This is home to me. You brought back so many wonderful memories of San Antonio.

    One little correction Priscilla, the Shops at La Cantera first opened up in 2005 (first part of it), so it's been 15 years now lol. I actually remember when ALL of La Cantera was first being built because my Junior Prom was in that area in 1999 and my family accidentally went on the La Cantera road when trying to get the Fiesta Texas lol.
    One of the nicest things about the Japanese Tea Gardens is that it's Free to go to also, so I think if you're on a budget and want to experience something with natural beauty, yeah the Japanese Tea Gardens is a good place to go.
    I've rarely been to the Pearl due to how much it costs. First time I went was for Fiesta in 2019 because I was in one of the Courts one year and got to be in the Flambeau parade, which was meeting at the Pearl. Parking was an adventure in itself lol. Had a lot of fun for sure.
    Thanks for mentioning Casa Rio's because for me that is the go-to place for Tex-Mex downtown (my mom and I tried Mi Tierra's we thought they were 'meh' at best honestly). As far as other local restaurants, my fav place to eat is a Chinese place that's not far from the Pearl (it's on Broadway), it's called Hung Fong and it is the oldest Chinese restaurant in Texas. Still owned by the same family too, it was opened up in 1939. Family has been going there for generations. I also recommend Big Lou's Pizza on the SE side of town, BUT ONLY if you have the time for they make your order FRESH! Like it can take a couple hours depending on how much you order (and how big of a pizza you get). Place got featured on both Food Network AND Travel Channel at some point. But yeah it IS family owned.
    One place in SA I think is worth going to if you have someone with special needs is Morgan's Wonderland which is in the north central part of town. It's the only amusement park of it's kind in the whole world that caters to those with Special Needs (both physical and developmental). And entire party can get in for free if just one person has a Special Need (like my family has always been able to get in free since I have Autism).
    I do think a must do for those with kids is also the local Children's Museum (it's called the Do-Museum), it's close to the Witte Museum since it's part of the "Museum Reach" of SA. Also a huge lover of art, I also recommend the San Antonio Museum of Art that's downtown near Broadway.
    I definitely recommend the Institue of Texan Cultures that's downtown too if you want to know about Texas history. Speaking of this Institute, they have 2 amazing festivals that happen on the grounds. One is the Asian Festival and the other is the Texas Folklife Festival. Another huge SA event is our Livestock Show and Rodeo that happens in February at the AT&T Center and Freeman Coliseum. So much to do there.
    Hey Priscilla, ever visited the Riverwalk close to St. Patrick's Day? They dye the river green for the event. I never been there on the exact holiday, but I have seen the river when it was green. So very cool to see.

Oh and we have something in common. I was once on the fissta court too. A total experience right?!💗 Yes I've been to the St.Patricks festival about 7 or 8 times. Love seeing the river dyed.

    Pro tip: I know you were in an echoey room, but there are certain mics and audio setups which work better in such rooms. In general audio is the most important element of video making. There are many videos on RUclips which explain this far better than I ever could. Whether making movies and making vlogs or a video/audio podcast... spend well on audio equipment and you will be rewarded for your investment. An appropriate microphone and a decent amplifier or mixer from a company called Sound Devices (such as an MM-1, or perhaps the Mix-Pre III if you want to pay more) will give you more volume and richness to your vocals without adding a noticeable amount of echo/hiss. Audio equipment is expensive, but you get back what you invest in tools and effort. Best of luck with your channel.

      Hi there! So glad you enjoyed the video. During 4th of July we usually go to Woodlawn lake park. There's a big festival there with a firework show put on by the SA Parks Foundation. Parking is challenging. Most locals will set up a tent and chairs and hang out for the day there but you could also just go in the late afternoon/evening to watch the firework show. It's our cities official 4th event. I hope you and the fam have a great trip here & thanks for visiting my channel! P.s. july is hot so if you do a lot of outdoor activities bring water and sunblock!

    We are two healthy retirees planning to take a trip via Amtrak around last two weeks of November from phenix to Louisiana. San Antonio will be our 1st stop. It would be ideal not to rent a car for this entire train ride trip. If we stay in San Antonio for a few days and visit some must visit popular tourist spots, which part of this city would be ideal for us to stay at? We are Best Western hotel level or three stars travellers. Any suggestion on taking public transportation to go around San Antonio would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!!

      Hi 👋 that sounds amazing! I suggest staying on the Riverwalk downtown. You'll be within walking distance of several touristy things to do ie the Alamo, Riverwalk. You could do a hop on off bus which starts at Alamo Plaza and will take you by more of the sites. Not sure if there's a best Western in that general area. Thanks for visiting my channel!

    So I’m planning a trip with my wife this year 2023 during the week of Fiesta (April 19-25th). My main worry is it will be too crowded and we won’t be able to enjoy some of the tourist spots because of the crowds. What do you think?

    • @PriscillaGutierrez
      @PriscillaGutierrez  2 года назад +1

      Hi 👋 Welcome to the channel. Fiesta is very busy, mostly downtown. I would say if you plan to go dt take a cab/uber. Downtown parking will be expensive and hard to find. You can definitely still enjoy the spots if you don't mind the extra festivities & crowds. Fiesta is awesome and so much fun. Are you coming specifically to experience Fiesta? If so Viva Fiesta! If not definitely book your hotel & make your restaurant reservations as soon as possible. You can check the official Fiesta commissions website for events in case there's one you want to go to. Market square has a Fiesta event everyday there during fiesta so it will be packed. I would say go to the Alamo early in morning during week. On Friday of Fiesta all schools and lots of people are off from work to attend the parades that day. But there's still plenty to see and do in SA not near Fiesta stuff.

      @bradlenseigne4086 2 года назад

      @@PriscillaGutierrez We are going for our anniversary and it just happens to fall on that week. But since we're there we might as well enjoy Fiesta. We'll be there from a Wednesday to Tuesday so hopefully some of the weekdays aren't as busy as the weekend. We want to see the Alamo, some of the other missions, the Mexican market, and maybe make a over night trip Fredericksbeurg or New Braunfels/Lockhart, try some Texas BBQ and visit a state park. We won't be spending all of our days in Downtown San Antonio. And I hope to explore some of the neighborhoods and photograph some murals and visit some little neighborhood taqueiras/burger joints/bakeries that aren't necessarily in downtown. Thanks for your response and great video.

Only one of them will happen during your stay and it's the River Parade on April 24th. I would avoid driving downtown for it'll be a madhouse that day for the parades get the biggest crowds. FYI, if you're a Military vet (or currently serving), a LOT of places have Military discounts. Hope you have an amazing time here though.
