@@trembling3674 no. The history and geography lead it to sprawl and urban rambling. That’s one thing I noticed while living elsewhere in the US. But it also allows for this, the 7th largest city in the US, to still feel like small town.
It's weird and satisfying in a good way when I see video reactions to our city and state. Born and raised in San Antonio and I don't think people understand how unique this city is. As a local, we rarely visit any of these places unless family and friends come into town. I worked at that courthouse for almost 20 years and saw the transformation of downtown and the river-walk to what it is today. The river-walk is one of the crown-jewels of Texas and many cities and states around the U.S. have tried to duplicate it and FAILED. Sure, Texas has issues just like many states, but our way of living is unique to us and we LOVE it and treasure it. Your journey and commentary here made me smile and I wish you nice people nothing but safe-travels and joy.
San Antonio native here too! & yes we are so busy with daily life & for me for my Kids school schedule that we seldom go down town or other places unless family/friends visit from out of town! My kids love River center mall. Also San Angelo Tx attempted to recreate its own river walk along the Concho River & while it is pretty it doesn’t compare to San Antonio River walk 🙂
The city mostly just has them on city buildings like the Chamber of Commerce and the International Center. While there may be more, it's definitely not London and it's more so 'safe- ish' due to more foot, bike and the occasional boat patrol than other parts of the city.
Best time to visit the River Walk, beside spring, is the fall, around the holidays. There are lights in trees, crossing over the river, on the boats. It is sooo beautiful!!
I'm glad you guys enjoyed San Antonio! I love living here and I always recommend people stopping by. Even for someone like me who was born and raised here, I still enjoy heading downtown and walking along the river walk. Best of luck on your travels!
Lived here for a brief moment in time. San Antonio is magic. My favorite city on earth of national and international cities I've been to. Historic Pearl, Hotel Emma, and the Botanical Gardens, absolutely love those places.
Damn y’all just missed fiesta too! We finally had it back this year since the pandemic! The water floats, parades, music, food…..y’all would have loved it! And yes very lucky to see such a curious armadillo, I usually see them running away from us not towards us.
Ride the River Walk barge for a historical tour. It's so worth it. And watch a play or Mariachi bands at the Amphitheater. So great. Also Christmas time on the walk is a delight.
I love my city. People think San Antonio is just the Alamo but there is much history and architecture downtown. I’ll be sitting on that very Riverwalk tonight with the love of my life celebrating our anniversary. I’m glad you enjoyed this beautiful city 💕
I'm 66 years old and have lived in 34 different places, but praise God, I was blessed to live in San Antonio for almost a third of my life. I'm so glad this reactor couple enjoyed themselves, and I hope they experienced how friendly the people are.
Make sure you can tolerate high levels of humidity. I love San Antonio, but San Antonio doesn't like me, the allergies are unbearable and refuse to take chemicals on a monthly basis to control. Great city for family with young ones, a lot to do and explore.
@@pumknhead1 I wish it was that easy! We have been applying for jobs down there but not getting any calls for interviews. For now we are looking to stay in the Seattle area but I definitely see it in our future or retirement years. Would love to be able to live in both places. Skip the Seattle Winter and skip the San Antonio Summers would be perfect!
I love my hometown of San Antonio. As you can read from the comments from fellow San Antonians, we love our city and are proud of it. Come back after Thanksgiving and the river is lined with Christmas lights, very beautiful. Thanks for visiting!
Always love to see my city being enjoyed by all, you all missed our annual two week fiesta with tons of events and happenings around the city with two of the largest parades in the country one day and one night time parade. Hill country has a lot of gems hope you hit a few! Safe travels..
I'm sure someone has already mentioned it but the missions are nice to stop and see. San Antonio is beautifully old and rich with history. San Fernando Cathedral is also connected to the fight at the Alamo in which the bells were rung to warn of the approaching Mexican army. Thanks for visiting San Antonio and I hope y'all come visit us again! Happy Trails ❤️
As a resident of South Texas, your review of San Antonio, TX was most kind! San Antonio also has at least three great top notch Art Museums, The McNay, The Witte, and The San Antonio Art Museum. You are lucky you only encountered an armadillo..., because Texas has four poisonous snakes... they are Diamond Back Rattlesnake, Copperhead, Coral Snake and the Cottonmouth or Water Moccasin. The other real danger in stopping at a roadside park is FIRE ANTS, which gives a very painful sting and blister! Happy Trails and Stay Safe!
Your chances of getting bitten by a dog are a thousand times greater than being bitten by a poisonous snake and that won't happen if you leave snakes alone. As far as being bitten by a corral snake, its fangs are so small that it would have to chew on your ear or the flesh between your thumb and pointer finger to inject venom. Snakes serve a vital purpose by eating rats.
@@genespell4340 I live here in Texas, and true you need to leave snakes alone. My Father's Sister (both native Texans) was bitten by a Copperhead as a young child and nearly died, Copperheads are very aggressive. I gave our friend's from the UK that information as a safety precaution. As for Coral snakes... a man in San Antonio was bitten by a Coral in his backyard, and the snake wouldn't let go. By the time his wife got him to Emergency he had tunnel vision! His wife being a nurse called ahead to make sure the hospital had anti-venom for Coral snakes which most certainly saved his life, they are the most deadly snake in North America!
It throws me for a loop, seeing someone enjoy the Riverwalk so much. I live about 45 minutes from the river, and it's wonderful seeing people from the other side of the world enjoying our city so much.
I'm so glad y'all had a good time visiting here in San Antonio, Texas! I love our home and so glad y'all like her too!!! Come on back when you get a chance!!!❤
As a lifetime resident here, I would like to thank you for complimenting and enjoying our beautiful city. It is truly a wonder to experience. I love SA!
I just found y’all here when this video was suggested to me because I live in San Antonio and I am obsessed with your channel now! It( you two) are bringing me such joy! I wish I knew y’all before because I would have tried to find you and just tell y’all how great you are. Anyway… I’m watching all your videos and telling my friends to watch as well! Loved your take on downtown. Come back and see the missions and museums and other things that are great!! ❤️
You guys were so lucky to see an armadillo so close during the day! I grew up in the "hill country" of Texas and I don't think I ever saw one. They are usually so shy and hunt at night. They are the weirdest, cutest little creatures. You will also probably see a lot of deer. Can't wait to see where in TX you explore next.
I've lived in San Antonio for about 9 years now and have been very happy here. I'm glad you were able to come here and see it for yourselves and that you had a good experience here. There's a lot more to see and do here but that would take days; you could always come back.
Saw old pictures of San Antonio when it was just a dirt road city with cowboys and cattle streaming through the streets. My grandmother (1898-1982) even ran into Bonnie & Clyde coming out of the S. H. Kress store (1896-1981). She said they were very polite! Clyde held the door open for her and said..."you first maam." She told stories of feeding depression era homeless stew and soup out of a giant black belly-pot when they jumped the train near her place looking for food. A fantastic cook, she gave them free fresh home-cooking ...which my grandpa, the hunter/provider of scarce food, wasn't to thrilled about... but she did it anyway. She even had a man from the north who jumped off and refused eat once he saw her skin color, saying, "I don't take nothing from a n...er." A couple of months later he came back around, skin and bones, and apologized for his earlier, unfriendly behavior. He tore that food up (her words) with the rest of the train jumpers. My grandmother, a mid-wife, chef, and healer was full of such stories. Let me tell you about the time.... oops, you'll have to read the book.
Born and raised in San Antonio, but really enjoyed your tour of the city! Mi Tierra is well worth the wait and usually, the wait may look impossible, but they get through the line pretty quickly!
So glad you enjoyed your time here. I live in north San Antone now and used to live in Kerrville. Never have I heard someone call it the Venice of Texas, but it makes sense! There are so many things to do here but you captured what us locals have to deal with, it's ALWAYS crowded, and HOT. Great job and come back soon!
Native San Antonioian here. Not sure if it’s been mentioned in other comments but the Defenders of the Alamo held back Santa Anna’s troops for 13 days. So glad y’all are enjoying our city. BTW the trees are called crepe myrtles.
I was just in San Antonio for the first time a few months ago. I so wanted to see an armadillo. Never saw one in person, not even in a zoo. I was not as lucky as you. If you are still there I highly recommend going to the Natural Bridge Caverns. That was the highlight of my trip. Just breathtaking!
I'm glad you two are enjoying the Friendship State! All the best to you! And wow, I've lived in Texas for 34 years and only once saw an armadillo in the wild. You two have luck on your side!
Friends had their elderly citybred father from out of state visit. He scurried into the house one morning shouting that there was an Amarillo (city) crossing the road! He, of course, meant armadillo (critter).
So San Antonio charmed you both? My beautiful city tends to do that! 🤩 The Texas history teacher in me feels compelled to correct one statement however…the Battle of the Alamo lasted thirteen days keeping Santa Anna and the Mexican Army busy while Stephen F. Austin and others were writing and signing the Texas Declaration of Independence elsewhere. The battle that lasted only 20 minutes was the Battle of San Jacinto in April 1836 which ended the Texas Revolution and forced the surrender and retreat of the Mexican Army. Thank you for saying such enchanting things about our incredible city and please come back again soon! 🥰
Uhhh here you are ambassadors! I used to be able to patiently waiting for your videos before but now my attitude has changed completely, I CAN'T WAIT to have the videos coming in earlier 😋😋😭😄😄 Again, it was highly informative. I loved the USA'S VENICE!! That was really great besides Alomo historical site. You guys are doing marvelous job as usual. I must say that I miss you guys! Love always 💕💕💕🇹🇷🇹🇷
I am enjoying your videos so much! It’s fun to hear your commentary on the US, and especially Texas. Hope we always treat you well. Happy Travels, You’re Awesome
Born in raised in H-TOWN, but my second home is San Antonio, and I love that y'all really enjoyed it... This video just stumbled into my feed and I clicked on it and was throughly impressed...🤘😎👍
I attended college in North Texas and Austin/San Antonio were always the Spring Break and vacation hotspots. Lovely watching your video and recalling the beauty of the River Walk, I'm not sure of your plans but make sure to get through the Southwest and Southern California before the end of May as June-August has torturous heat (I grew up in Phoenix, AZ). The desert and coastal nights are lovely and cool for sleeping, but the days are over the top hot if you don't have an AC running constantly. Happy journeys!!
@@TREADtheglobe Wonderful! I'm looking forward to rediscovering America with you--I get to see my country through new eyes as I watch y'all's reactions, it's a lot of fun. If I had my choice I'd definitely spend my summer up North in states near the Candian border or the Northeast. Personally, I'm heading up to Vermont in June just to escape the Deep South sauna. Happy Trails you two!
A lot of folks already said it, but thank you for visiting S.A. and the nice things you said. Just going off the trunk, the trees are crepe myrtles. They put out bunches of flowers starting in late spring and all summer. They come in colors spanning white, red, pink, and purple. Also, be careful with armadillos, they carry leprosy.
Hello! Jose Antonio Navarro is my great X 4 Uncle. His father who was my X 5 grandfather was even more impressive in his development in San Antonio. We live right on the riverwalk. I am glad you enjoyed your time here!!! Safe travels!
I am born and raised in San Antonio Texas. I personally think we are very underrated because we do not have a big Media...like New York. I literally live less than 5 miles behind those BIG BOOTS 👢 Our neighborhood was once featured in Time Life magazine over 60 years ago because we are known for how wide our streets are. I'm glad 😊 you enjoyed your stay in San Antonio. There is truly so many things to do here...especially if you have children. I like to describe our city as a larger city with a small town of friendliness. Safe travels to you folks 🌹
I'm so happy that you enjoyed your time in San Antonio, my hometown where I've lived since I was 5. It's so cool seeing this beautiful city in someone else's eyes!
Remember the Alamo. I am so glad you went to the riverwalk and what a great place to eat Mexican food. It has been forever since I have been there. The armadillo is such a strange creature and part of the west Tx experience.
What a wonderful video of San Antonio. Guess what, I have been there myself!! What a beautiful city. We stayed for 10 days. Walked the river, rode on the river barge and ate a restaurant overlooking the river. What wonderful memories that was, in 2015!!
Yes, I think you two adapted quite well to Texas life. Loved the tour of the River Walk, it does remind me of Venice. Funny, I've been to Venice but never the San Antonio River Walk. Oh, and an armadillo, how cool! Hey, how long is Trudy? I just locked in on a 2023 Winnebago Solis Pocket, white and 18 ft(5.5 meters) long. I decided to go brand new since I just can't find a good used one or build on new van because that is taking forever to present itself(put order in, in Dec. 2021). My new little campervan will come in June and hopefully with good care it will last me 20+ years. Can hardly wait to hit the road, and maybe run into you two somewhere. Happy Travels!
So good seeing you both enjoying San Antonio. I was born and raised 2miles from river walk area. Live few miles from S. A. Now but still have family living near downtown . Thank you for stopping in.
Wow....hope you are enjoying your awesome adventure here in San Antonio!! What a delight seeing you touring our city!! Glad you enjoyed the sites!! Take care yall!! God bless!!🙏😊
You guys came just on time in the good weather because now it’s the hottest time of the year in the 100’s with the humidity and also they came just on time for the fiesta and saw all the decorations
I am from San Antonio and I approve this TH-cam video! :-) I've traveled all over the world and, yes, San Antonio is truly beautiful and people here are very friendly and welcoming. So much to do here, folks. Lots of good eats! I recommend an early Spring visit, if you're coming in from Europe. The summers are incredibly hot. I had friends from Europe visit during the summer and the weather was a bit much for them (understandably so). 100 degree weather is not fun for even locals. Tread the Globe, I'm glad you enjoyed San Antonio!
I'm so glad you enjoyed our city. There's so much more you didn't get to see, so come back and visit. The River Walk is awesome at night, and most especially during Christmas with all the lights. It's nice to hear your prospective on our city. Glad you enjoyed it. Safe travels and God Bless

Its really interesting seeing people see the city I live in for the first time, but I'm glad everyone seems to have good things to say about it!
SAME
I was going to say the same! Albeit I live north of SA in the hill country, SA is definitely my home town!
Absolutely hated San Antonio, it wasn’t for me and i’m glad I moved.
@@trembling3674 no. The history and geography lead it to sprawl and urban rambling. That’s one thing I noticed while living elsewhere in the US. But it also allows for this, the 7th largest city in the US, to still feel like small town.

I love San Antonio Texas I live here too I came here for vacation and I moved in . I've been living here in San Antonio for five years
I lived in San Antonio for 25 years and you are so right.
Fun fact: walking along the river walk is one of the safest places in the city, it is lined with cameras that are always running!
The city mostly just has them on city buildings like the Chamber of Commerce and the International Center. While there may be more, it's definitely not London and it's more so 'safe- ish' due to more foot, bike and the occasional boat patrol than other parts of the city.
that was that fun of a fact
I loved watching you explore our city 🥰 There really is so much to do here!
So true
Best time to visit the River Walk, beside spring, is the fall, around the holidays. There are lights in trees, crossing over the river, on the boats. It is sooo beautiful!!
Sounds great!
What in the world? Y'all were just here 10 days ago! Thank you for visiting my city. I'm so glad y'all enjoyed yourselves. Y'all come back anytime 😊😊

Please consider visiting the Missions. There are several and historical indeed. The river walk extends to the Pearl beyond the city center.
Yes! Visit the missions...if you can see only one...go to Mission San Jose.
Go tubing on the river in New Braunfels!

Born in raised in H-TOWN, but my second home is San Antonio, and I love that y'all really enjoyed it... This video just stumbled into my feed and I clicked on it and was throughly impressed...🤘😎👍
Awesome! Thank you!
That’s for visiting I’m glad you had a good time
Thank you
I attended college in North Texas and Austin/San Antonio were always the Spring Break and vacation hotspots. Lovely watching your video and recalling the beauty of the River Walk, I'm not sure of your plans but make sure to get through the Southwest and Southern California before the end of May as June-August has torturous heat (I grew up in Phoenix, AZ). The desert and coastal nights are lovely and cool for sleeping, but the days are over the top hot if you don't have an AC running constantly. Happy journeys!!
Hi Jill - thanks for the tips, we are indeed going to visit CA - but we are coming much later in the year - we will be sharing our plans soon 🌷
@@TREADtheglobe Wonderful! I'm looking forward to rediscovering America with you--I get to see my country through new eyes as I watch y'all's reactions, it's a lot of fun. If I had my choice I'd definitely spend my summer up North in states near the Candian border or the Northeast. Personally, I'm heading up to Vermont in June just to escape the Deep South sauna. Happy Trails you two!
I'm so glad you had a lovely visit to our city! ❤
So glad you enjoyed our beautiful San Antonio! We enjoy watching your videos!
So glad you got to enjoy our great city, thanks for the video. I hope you enjoy the rest of our great state.
Glad to see you all enjoyed the city!
I'm glad you enjoyed visiting San Antonio.❤
Welcome to my lovely city! Glad you enjoyed it. Come again
Hello! Thank you for visiting our city! I live here and have never seen a live armadillo! What a treat for you! ❤️
Hi 👋.. I’m from San Antonio and thank you we love our city . You should see the Riverwalk during Christmas it’s beautiful! Safe travels 🙏🏼
A lot of folks already said it, but thank you for visiting S.A. and the nice things you said.
Just going off the trunk, the trees are crepe myrtles. They put out bunches of flowers starting in late spring and all summer. They come in colors spanning white, red, pink, and purple.
Also, be careful with armadillos, they carry leprosy.
Hello! Jose Antonio Navarro is my great X 4 Uncle. His father who was my X 5 grandfather was even more impressive in his development in San Antonio.
We live right on the riverwalk. I am glad you enjoyed your time here!!! Safe travels!
Thanks for sharing!
I am born and raised in San Antonio Texas. I personally think we are very underrated because we do not have a big Media...like New York. I literally live less than 5 miles behind those BIG BOOTS 👢 Our neighborhood was once featured in Time Life magazine over 60 years ago because we are known for how wide our streets are. I'm glad 😊 you enjoyed your stay in San Antonio. There is truly so many things to do here...especially if you have children. I like to describe our city as a larger city with a small town of friendliness. Safe travels to you folks 🌹
You were there the week I moved to San Antonio for work. It was over 100 in late April and stayed that way the whole summer of 2022.
I'm so happy that you enjoyed your time in San Antonio, my hometown where I've lived since I was 5. It's so cool seeing this beautiful city in someone else's eyes!
Y’all are an absolute delight! So glad you enjoyed San Antonio.
Tbh I never thought I'd see my city being reviewed, I'm glad yall like it :) I love the video
Remember the Alamo. I am so glad you went to the riverwalk and what a great place to eat Mexican food. It has been forever since I have been there. The armadillo is such a strange creature and part of the west Tx experience.
So glad you enjoyed my hometown. Seeing you there makes me yearn for a visit down to the River Walk. Enjoy the rest of your trip.
Thank you! Will do!
Greetings from Turkey. God bless u.
You too 🌷🙏
Glad you love our city and glad our city gave you love
Awesome to see how other people react to the sites of San Antonio where I was born and raised
I love San Antonio , my favorite city ❤️❤️ 🤗
Omg, u so need AC in Texas… great channel… thank you for all your content
Thanks for watching Chris - we have little USB fans and try to follow the cooler weather 😂👍🌺
What a wonderful video of San Antonio. Guess what, I have been there myself!! What a beautiful city. We stayed for 10 days. Walked the river, rode on the river barge and ate a restaurant overlooking the river. What wonderful memories that was, in 2015!!
Yes, I think you two adapted quite well to Texas life. Loved the tour of the River Walk, it does remind me of Venice. Funny, I've been to Venice but never the San Antonio River Walk. Oh, and an armadillo, how cool! Hey, how long is Trudy? I just locked in on a 2023 Winnebago Solis Pocket, white and 18 ft(5.5 meters) long. I decided to go brand new since I just can't find a good used one or build on new van because that is taking forever to present itself(put order in, in Dec. 2021). My new little campervan will come in June and hopefully with good care it will last me 20+ years. Can hardly wait to hit the road, and maybe run into you two somewhere. Happy Travels!
Hi Adele - Trudy is 20ft and 18+ years old - so it is a great investment !! 🚐🙌💜
That Irish Pub has the best piano p;layer... He is awesome! I was screaming at the video, just now, Go into the PUB! GO INTO THE PUB! lol
So good seeing you both enjoying San Antonio. I was born and raised 2miles from river walk area. Live few miles from S. A. Now but still have family living near downtown . Thank you for stopping in.
Wow....hope you are enjoying your awesome adventure here in San Antonio!! What a delight seeing you touring our city!! Glad you enjoyed the sites!! Take care yall!! God bless!!🙏😊
You guys came just on time in the good weather because now it’s the hottest time of the year in the 100’s with the humidity and also they came just on time for the fiesta and saw all the decorations
makes me happy seeing peoples first time reactions to seeing the city I was born &raised
looks like lots of excitement thanks for sharing keep up the adventure so excited for you
Very well done Thank you for coming to Texas.
The armadillo was so fun to see! Thanks for taking us on the river walk!
Hello from San Antonio, TX. Glad you had a good time here.
I am from San Antonio and I approve this TH-cam video! :-) I've traveled all over the world and, yes, San Antonio is truly beautiful and people here are very friendly and welcoming. So much to do here, folks. Lots of good eats! I recommend an early Spring visit, if you're coming in from Europe. The summers are incredibly hot. I had friends from Europe visit during the summer and the weather was a bit much for them (understandably so). 100 degree weather is not fun for even locals. Tread the Globe, I'm glad you enjoyed San Antonio!
Thank you Elle
It's been 100 already this year a few times which has been pretty early. I was melting last weekend.
As a person who lives in San Antonio, Texas. Thanks for featuring our city
I love your joy at seeing these places with fresh eyes!
I'm glad you got to see a small part of my home city, there is a lot more to see as the RiverWalk is 15 miles long.
I'm so glad you enjoyed our city. There's so much more you didn't get to see, so come back and visit. The River Walk is awesome at night, and most especially during Christmas with all the lights. It's nice to hear your prospective on our city. Glad you enjoyed it. Safe travels and God Bless
