Re-visit those good ol’ college days in TX

www.StudyBreaks.com

You’re in one of our many Texas seminar locations and are feeling a little nostalgic for those old drink-till-the-bars-close nights. Look no further than Study Breaks. I found this while looking for things to do in Lubbock (home of Texas Tech.) and it seems to be a pretty comprehensive guide to drink specials, concerts, and other such nightlife happenings in Austin, Houston, Lubbock, and San Antonio.

This site definitely caters to the college crowd, so get ready to partay!

San Antonio–River Walk & The Alamo

Staying at the La Quinta in downtown San Antonio, TX will give you the chance to see a national monument, have a great time out to diner or lunch, and get a little exercise, all within a few blocks.

The San Antonio River Walk is a public park surrounding both banks of the San Antonio River, passing through downtown. Both sides are lined with restaurants, bars, gardens, hotels, the city’s convention center, and more.

You can dine, drink, hop on a river taxi, or go on a jog. Head to the official website (link above) to find information on the park and for discounts to the River Walk’s attractions.

Also within a few blocks of the hotel and the River Walk is The Alamo, originally a Spanish mission where the famous “Battle of The Alamo” took place. Head over there on your lunch break to see a bit of American/Mexican history.
