Another great day of playing tourist. We didn't get up until Arda had her coffee in bed. We then got up, had breakfast, and then got ready for 11:30 Mass. Once again church was a little different as the celebrant was an older Irish Priest who was a bit more of a traditionalist.
It was a beautiful day with temps in the mid 80's, a nice breeze, and overcast so the sun wasn't blazing down so after church we headed for the River Walk and the Alamo. It is really a nice area with lots of trees, restaurants, and bars for those who like the night-life. After lunch at Laundry's (a seafood restaurant on the river walk), we walked a little before we got into one of the river boats for a water tour. The River Walk is 2.5 miles long or 5 miles return so the boat tour seemed like the thing to do... easier than walking :-).
After the boat tour, we headed to the Alamo. It really is impressive and humbling to stand where so few gave their lives against over-whelming odds for others. You should visit the Alamo if you ever get a chance as it is really neat place with a lot of history starting in 1724.
Here are some pictures from today... San Antonio
After the Alamo, it was back to the trailer for another one of Arda's great dinners...
Next stop, Crockett TX to see Chuck & Genie Lindberg.
