    Avoid Lackland AFB. They'll cut your hair and make you do push up for six weeks.

    Yep, it is a pretty nice one. They also have locations in Houston and just opened one in Austin not too long ago. I have a plate at the San Antonio saucer.

    Does the river still get dyed green for St Patty's day? That was a real eye-opener when I saw that for the first time.

    Been there. Done that.

    I didn't care much for the Alamo, but the Riverwalk is nice.

    Yep, Still dyed green every year. If you really want a sight, and smell, to behold. come on down in January (second or third week) when they drain the river to clean it up.
