March 2013 Part 1

San Antonio, TX

Wait, I forgot I stopped blogging after Fredericksburg. so I am going farther back to add the rest of our spring travels.

Leaving Fredericksburg we traveled down through the Texas “Hill Country” and on to San Antonio. We stayed at Travelers World RV park.

We had list of several restaurants to visit in the city which had been shown on “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives”.  Our first stop was Magnolia Pancake Haus.  It was an early morning week day when we arrived and we anticipated a quick table. Seeing the shopping center parking lot full, I hoped it was shoppers but it was to early for the shopping center stores, so we got in line and joined the crowd.  The breakfast was worth waiting for.

Guenther House Restaurant was our next breakfast stop. Located at the foot of King Williams Street in the mansion of Pioneer Flour Mills founder Carl Hilmar Guenther and located on a corner of the mill complex.

The green tent serves as an overflow dining area. We were early enough to be seated in the mansion’s small dinning room. When we left the overflow was full and there were people waiting.

After our breakfast we took a stroll up King Williams Street which is lined with trees and mansions. We returned on a path behind the mansions along the river.

A disappointing lunch stop was Dough Pizzeria Napoletana, which we must have visited on an off day. The fact that they had empty tables should have been a caution. Our pizza wasn’t very good and the servers were busy talking to bar customers and each other.
