The mountains and fhe sunsets make tucson 50,000 times more scenic than sa

I went to San Fran for the first time last week and really enjoyed it. The high was in the 60s but I heard its warmer in the fall. If you want to tour Alcatraz you need to book two weeks in advance right now, or you can take a boat tour just past it for cheaper. Sausolito was a nice small town to have lunch, a lot of people rent bikes and ride over the bridge then ferry back. Katie and and I did a bus tour for $30 and saw everything a few hours. Fishermens wharf is cool and there's good food but it very touristy. Coit tower has awesome views for $7. If you want a fine dining meal I highly recommend Farallon in Union Square. Katie and I also booked a tour to Yosemite for $135 that took about 12 hours an gave us 5 hours in the park.

Have u been to both?? I have and it is a no brainer. And I like San Antonio

Yes, I have been to both. SF is a nice place for a *brief* visit, but far from a no-brainer.

Nice set up Zepp. Wp

Anything else besides the Riverwalk or the Alamo? Cant wait to see the basement.

Just saw that there's a Fogo de Chao in San Antonio. I have never heard of anyone not liking that place. It's not the best of anything, but everything is very good. Enough variety that everyone should be able to find something they like.

The basement of the Alamo is amazing. I can't even describe it.

I think San Fran is the pretty easy pick here, but coming from someone who lives in fucking Arizona, this is hilarious. Texas has plenty to offer for tourism - beaches, state parks, historic sites, museums, amusement parks, fine dining, great shopping, etc. a few examples:

Alamo:



River Walk:



South Padre Island (great spring break destination):



maybe get some deep sea fishing in:



you can even surf:



Six Flags:



Sea World:



best waterpark in the US, Schlitterbahn:



Moody Garden Tourist Complex in Galveston: http://poststick.com/moody-gardens-t...lveston-texas/



Texas State Fair:



don't forget the chicken fried bacon!



maybe take in a game at the Cotton Bowl while you are there:



go to Austin and check out the capitol building and downtown area:



you like mountains/trails/outdoors stuff? Texas has that too:







maybe some cliffdiving?





who says Texas is all bland and ugly? the Hill Country is some of the better scenery the US has to offer:









could go on and on when talking about things to do and see in Texas... and this isn't even mentioning all the beautiful women and nice people that are always partying, and very welcoming to visitors. jus sayin

EDIT: some of those pics might not show up, not putting them in my photobucket tho

Awesome post Waco.

I too underestimated Texas til I moved here, never want to leave.

There's no basement at the Alamo.

Bwahaha

what's the issue preventing pics? we can walk you through it.

Also Texas owns pretty hard imo been there 3 years for spring break in college and had beyond a blast each and every time (went to san antonio, austin, san marcos) and especially austin was beautiful. I was shocked at how scenic austin was it was great. Also the girls are easily the best in the world when factoring in the entire package - they are smoking hot, genuinely nice girls who are attainable - it's an amazing place.
