My gut instinct is to tell you, DON"T DO IT!!! Talk about Culture Shock!!!

Born and raised in San Antonio, I moved back three years ago after 21 years raising a family in Largo/Clearwater. All my relatives live in SA, but is this worth it! Boring is the word that comes to mind morning, noon, and night. And the lack of greenery and flowers most months of the year due to droughts and freezes is so depressing.

It has to be even worse for our 3 daughters who have now also moved. They are beach beauty singles aged 25, 30, and 33. Now pale as ghosts, and in bikinis only 3-4 times a year.

Wait! there's no sandy beaches in San Antonio? what happened? where did they go?

Does the sun not come out for your now pale daughters to tan in? Seriously? How does one go pal in SA? Aside from staying in your house 24/7.

Maybe I'm getting a little off topic here, but I don't understand how any major metropolitan city (of which San Antonio qualifies) can be indisputably "boring". Perhaps if spending your time at the beach, or in the mountains is the only activity you enjoy, then a lack of either of those could render your life boring. I'm a San Antonio fan, but I also fully realize and accept the criticizms, just as I have every place I have lived. However, to call any place boring seems more a reflection of the individual than the location.

Fresh off a weekend, my wife and I (we're late 20's) and an assortment of friends:
* Friday, went to see Pink Martini with the Symphony and Lila Cockrell theatre
* Saturday morning, did a charity walk in the morning, went to Pearl Brewery farmer's market
* Saturday afternoon, went to a friend's BBQ (ok, you weren't invited but you must have friends too)
* Saturday night, drove to Tarpley, TX to eat at "Mac & Ernies" which is gorumet food served on a paper plate out of a shack near Bandera. Awesome experience. Stopped at a bar in Bandera on the way back for some live music.
* Sunday, spent 5 hours in the beautiful weather at Texas Valero Open with my buddies.

Now, if you did nothing this weekend, it's not because San Antonio is boring.

Don't your daughters know any geography or ever look at a map? Tontas! Anyone can see that San Antonio isn't close enough to the beach to go every day. You've got to be kidding that they're only in bikinis 3-4 times a year in SA. C'mon! Summer here is about six months long! It's impossible to be ghost-pale here unless you spend your entire life indoors.

I'm convinced some Texans do....they're afraid to go outside if it's over 80 degrees....

We pretty much spend the entire weekend outside 90% of the year. The other 10% is just a bit too cold.

I'm going to presume, since we are talking about "beach beauties" after all, that the heat wouldn't bother them.
