I would have to agree that San Antonio's River Walk is an amazing experience and has some beautiful sights. Heck, I've been too many times to count and love it. But, I'm a bit surprised that some other Texas locations like Big Bend National Park, the Botanical Gardens in Dallas, or even South Padre Island were not considered one of the most beautiful sights in the world.
One thing for sure is that writing this article now has me thinking about sipping margaritas at Rita's On The River now. Let's go!
