Road Trip

Last summer I and two of my friends decided to go on a road trip for some fun and to get to know new places from San Antonio to Dallas, the distance between them is about 4 hours, but we decided to make stops in different places between San Antonio to Dallas so our total trip with all stops took 2 days for the whole trip.

We headed from New York to San Antonio, where our road trip started firstly we rented a car then we drove about 8 min and then we stopped at River walk where we stay for about 2 hours, the river is a public park and it is such an important part of the city's urban fabric and a tourist attraction in its own right.  We had a launch in a BBQ restaurant and then we finally hit the road.

The weather was such amazing it was 25 degrees and a bit windy. Our first stop was Austin (The capital of Texas) which has some interesting attraction, we decided to stay all day here so we can visit some of them. Firstly, we checked out the world-famous Congress Bridge Bats, it was simply a marvel. Then we took a Splash with Austin Duck Adventures, which is one of the first tours to show visitors around town. The tour starts at the Austin Visitor Centre at the corner of 4th and Red River in downtown Austin. It drives along 6th street, up Congress where you get great views of the Texas Capitol and then on to Lake Austin where you drive straight into the water and float around before heading back. It was such an amazing experience we did on this trip. we enjoyed a sunset on Top of mount Bonnell before we checked in a hotel where we could stay until the next day.

In the morning, we left the hotel and continued our trip to Dallas which took about 3 hours of driving. finally, we arrived at our destination and it was such a nice day here in Dallas, we took a walk in the city´s coolest new urban green space, where we snap gorgeous photos, ate in the most famous restaurant there, and then we enjoyed walking around the city before its time to get back to New York, we drove all they back to san Antonio without making any stops, and then we headed back to New York. It was such an awesome experience we had ever done and of course decided to do a similar road trip again.
