Our Day in San Antonio





We spent our third Texas day in the city of San Antonio.   We began the day with a tour of several of the old missions in the city.   They were so peaceful and beautiful.  

As you can see, it was another beautiful day.  The temps were in the 70's and we thoroughly enjoyed the visits.  We made our way into the city center and ended the mission tours with a visit to the most famous of all-The Alamo.   We were even lucky enough to be there in time for a short talk given by a guide at the Alamo about the history of the famous battle there.
After we finished at the Alamo, we headed for the River Walk area.   We meandered through the area, stopping for a beer and snacks at Durty Nellie's pub.  We even experienced  Mass at an old church in the city.   Then we had a barge trip on the River and then dinner at a neat Mexican place.   We ate outside and our table was right on the water.   It was a bustling Saturday night.  Lots of fun.

Our next excursion will be to the German town of Fredericksburg for an overnight stay at a neat bed and breakfast.  

Hugs to Everyone.
