San Antonio Tourist is NINE! Since June of 2010, I’ve been blogging about fun things to do and see in the Alamo City. Thanks for exploring with me!
Besides celebrating San Antonio Tourist’s ninth birthday, we are also celebrating that this blog was turned into a book, “100 Things To Do in San Antonio Before You Die,” by Reedy Press, and its updated second edition came out in May 2019! You may purchase the book online through Amazon or directly from Barnes & Noble or The Twig here in San Antonio.
I am available to talk to clubs, businesses and organizations about all the wonders of San Antonio. I also dabble in itinerary planning and small group tours. You may email me at sanantoniotourist at gmail dot com to set something up.
I encourage you to use my book like a passport. Every time you visit one of the 100 things, write the date you did it, the names of your sidekicks and a favorite memory. It’ll become a cherished keepsake. Buy copies for your friends and family members so they can play along! Keep an extra copy in your guest room.
Please like my Facebook page so you’ll never miss a post. If you’re not an email subscriber of San Antonio Tourist, please click on the three, stacked horizontal lines in the upper-right corner and type in your email address so that you remain in the loop.
Use this alpha-ordered list of all of my San Antonio Tourist blog posts since June 2010 to plan your next adventures.
¡Viva San Antonio!
Con cariño, Denise
