Flag of United States San Antonio, Texas
Tuesday, April 17, 2012

I enjoy the area of San Antonio around and including Brackenridge Park. This park is located in one of the most attractive areas of the city. It is the largest and oldest park in one of the largest cities in Texas. The park area, besides standard park amenities, includes universities, zoo, museums, gardens, stores, eateries, and the beautiful San Antonio River. I enjoy hiking in this area as often as possible.
