It was a great vacation. Mrs. DFU's distant relatives in Uvalde, a walk through some great caverns, the Riverwalk, the Alamo, Georgetown, Austin, LBJ Library at UT, and GHW Bush Library at College Station. What is that huge tower we went up in San Antonio near where the Spurs play?

That is the Tower of Americas, on that site is where the 1968 Worlds Fair was held. It has a restraunt at the top and rotates very very slowly. It is closed now for renovation and Landrys will be going in once it opens. I am ashamed that my kids have never been up there, but now that Landrys is going in we will take them.

The Spurs now have their own Arena, the SBC center and it is a located a little east of that area. The AlamoDome is what you are thinking of and they did play there for awhile. That was then, Mayor Henry Cisneros pet project that I personally didn't vote for. But that is another thread. haha
