The journey lasted 1 hour and it was worth, we could see a colony of bats. After sunset, we saw how they flew to look for food which basically are insect, fruits and small rodents. I was able to take several photos which were mesmerizing. The second place we visited was San Antonio. It is a great city with many things to do. Due to the amount of time, we only did three things. First, we had lunch, in a place called Boudros which was a nice place. Second, we headed to the Riverwalk where we took a kind of a boat. It sealed along the canal and we saw many touristic sites. Finally, I visited the Alamo and some shops to buy some souvenirs. The Alamo is a fortress found in the 18th century and now it is a museum.
