Day 7 - Tower of the Americas

Wrap up your trip in San Antonio by taking in the view of the city 750 feet above the ground, the first one who can spot every where you’ve been over the week wins.

Completed in 1968, the Tower stands as an 80-ton reminder of HemisFair, Texas’ 1968 World’s Fair, for which it was the theme […]
