I live literally 5 mins walk from the medical center.

If you want to pm me, I can give you my contact details.
I've applied for about 10 research assistant positions at UTHSCSA with no response - so im guessing im just not making it past HR.

I tried to PM you, but according to the website admin I have to make 3 posts before I can PM.

We are living just off Evers behind the walmart there - so we are super close to the UTHSCA.

Does anyone know when they turn off the Xmas lights on the Riverwalk? We're thinking of coming up to SA for a weekend but hopefully want to do it while the lights are still on so the baby can see them.

Have a look at www.paseodelrio.com -- looks like they are on through 1st January -- which is actually longer than I expected.

Haven't kept up with the development of this thread, but I attend Uni in SA at Trinity if anyone's familiar.. and for those expats who are lost, try checking out the Lion & Rose on Broadway - there are often a few of us Brits about for the footy matches etc.

Welcome to BE. I don't live in San Antonio but its a place I plan to visit. Alamo and all that stuff. Maybe later this year or next. From what I hear most Texans are totally flipped out. If they are wearing jackets its not because of the cold, but to hide the hardwear ) Be careful out their

We didn't go to SA the other week as something came up.

BUT my parents are visiting in February so we plan to take them to SA for a few days.

We've stayed at the Hilton a couple of times and we love it but we want to try a different hotel. Can anyone recommend a good one?

Cost isn't a problem but it must have a private balcony overlooking the Riverwalk. Was on the verge of booking at the Contessa but found out they have a communal terrace as opposed to private balconies.

Cheers in advance!
