Admiralty RV Resort in San Antonio Texas is a great RV destination with all kinds of things to see and do in the area. The park is very neat and clean with manicured landscaping. All the interior roads are paved and the sites are on concrete pads. Each site also has a small patio (see photo of AWO below), full hookups, and cable TV. Amenities include a heated pool and adult-only hot tub that are open until 10 P.M. (The hot tub was working the first night we were there, but not the second night). The two RV Gypsies booked a tour of San Antonio and were picked up right at the park office. There is also a free shuttle to Sea World from the park.

Below: The Alamo (the Mission of San Antonio de Valero) was established in 1718. The long Barrack museum, the oldest building in San Antonio, displays the dramatic battle of March 6, 1836 where Davy Crockett, Colonel William B. Travis, and 189 Texas patriots lost their lives fighting for freedom against Mexican General Santa Anna's army of 2,500.

Below: At 750-feet tall, the Tower of The Americas offers a panoramic view of San Antonio. Glass walled elevators ascend over 500 feet to the restaurant and observation level (it costs $13 per person to go up). The Tower was built as a theme structure for Hennis Fair in 1968 and symbolizes the progress made by the merging of civilizations in the Western Hemisphere.

BELOW: Winding along the San Antonio River from the Municipal Auditorium to the King William Historical District, the "Riverwalk" or Paseo del Rio, stakes its claim. This picturesque 2.5 mile path lines both sides of the river. Much of the "Riverwalk" is natural waters, but part of it is man made. It also includes areas with flood doors. Many fine restaurants and shops are located along the unique walkway through downtown.

BELOW: Mission San Jose: Established in 1720, this is the best example of a restored mission in the United States. The famous "Rose Window" and card stone facade at the entrance are examples of the fine detail and craftsmanship of artisans who built the mission.
