More of San Antonio

This is our last full day here in San Antonio. We spent most of the day downtown, visiting HemisFair park and the Tower of the Americas. The tower was built for the 1968 World's Fair...entitled HemisFair 1968. At 750 feet, it is the second tallest tower in the US, behind the Stratosphere in Las Vegas at 1150 feet. (By comparison, the CN Tower in Toronto is over 1800 feet tall). Cam says that the Burj Dubai tower in the United Arab Emirates is over 2000 feet high (and still under construction).
