HEMISFAIR VIEW. The theme of HemisFair'68 is - "The Confluence of Civilizations in the Americas" - a flowing together of the combined civilization of six continents. This is an over-all view of the Fair in downtown San Antonio.

One of the most diverting and beguiling areas of HemisFair is the Fiesta Gardens - a complex of exotic rides, amusements, food kiosks, shops, a three-acre lake and waterway, elevated walks, and grassy, tree-shaded hideaways. The sector surrounds the base of the Tower of the Americas.

Shown is architect's model of Los Plazas del Mundo (Plazas of the World), HemisFair's international area, where more than thirty foreign governments will have exhibits.

MINI-MONORAIL is one of the chief transportation means on the HemisFair'68 site. It is quick, colorful and provides a breathtaking view of the exposition's entire 92 acres,
