Today’s big outing was re-visiting San Antonio Texas. This is our 3rd visit so we were mostly in the mood for just strolling and enjoying the Riverwalk.
We spent a couple of hours walking the loop and some other walkways. We finally settled on a Mexican restaurant for lunch. We figured this would be our last chance before being bombarded by fish dishes and Cajun cuisine. Darn good margaritas too I might add!
We strolled through La Villata, the historic art village.. I enjoyed visiting the sweet little church too. Here’s a trivia question for you; San Antonio is the patron saint of what? (Nod to my Catholic upbringing. I was actually one of those nerds that collected Saint trading cards. Oh how far the mighty have fallen.)
Of course no trip to San Antonio is complete without a visit to the Alamo. Besides walking the grounds and seeing a “living camp”, I especially enjoyed the film in the museum. Nothing like packing 300 years of Spanish-Mexican-American history into 17 minutes!
Tonight we are camped at Texana Park. Even though we are still in Texas, we have definitely left the world of desert landscape, cowboys and jack rabbits running around our camp site. Instead we have entered the land of spanish moss hanging from trees, guys riding lawn mowers and armadillos scurrying past. Oh yes, and the alligator warning signs are everywhere. You can swim, but there’s also alligators enjoying the same space. I declined.
