The Menger Hotel -San Antonio



We just returned from a beautiful trip to San Antonio. The weather was hot and steamy as always. What makes this trip worthy of mentioning is that we stayed in a location where I finally got the opportunity to photograph the Menger Hotel.

Not only is the Menger a historical building full of expensive and extravagant antiques and style, it also reportingly haunted. There have been many stories and sightings associated with the hotel and I hope to conduct a ghost hunt there one day. One highlight to this trip was the chance to spend some quality time in the hotel walking around looking at the pictures on the wall and eyeing the old ledgers they have on display dating to the 1890's. Also, being able to sit in the same bar that Col. Theodore Roosevelt signed up some of the famous Rough Riders was a unique twist

Alas, nothing extraordinary occurred, but there is always next time.
