SAN ANTONIO

Our drive out of Houston and on to San Antonio was a relief, to leave the big city traffic and pollution and to see some lovely hill country back roads, with the wild flowers in bloom.



San Antonio has a long history as one of the oldest settlements in Texas. The Alamo is not the oldest or most interesting missions. There are a number of them there, which give you a sense of the old days.  The highlight of the town is an amazing River walk downtown which has hundreds of restaurants and hundreds of people strolling along.

DECIDING WHAT TO EAT


We only had one night here, so we had dinner down by the river and then the next day had a lovely visit with my cousin James Ray and his wife Judy. I am sorry I did not get their picture!
