REMEMBER THE ALAMO!

Yesterday we landed in New Braunfels, Texas. This is our final destination. We will be staying at two different locations here before heading back home. First up is Hill County RV Resort. When we landed I had hoped for a big Halloween celebration. I just barely got the flamingos out when the rain started and that was it for Halloween. 

Today we covered downtown San Antonio. First stop The Alamo. It was amazing to explore this piece of history. Ashame that most of the original piece of property is out in the road. How does that happen? They are working on making that change and will have a great addition to the museum thanks to Phil Collins. Mr. Collins, the singer, donated millions of dollars worth of artifacts from his private collection to The Alamo. Who knew?!

Next up was the famous Sant Antonio Riverwalk. It’s a big tourist trap but still really pretty. The Riverwalk meanders through town just below street level with boat rides, shopping and lots of great food! 

The final stop of the day was at Mission San José. It’s known as the ‘Queen’ of the missions due to its size and elaborate sculptures. 

Both of the Spanish missions that we visited were fascinating to explore. There are a handful more in town to visit and hopefully we can make that happen before we leave. Tomorrow we plan to chill out some. With all the driving we have done it’s time for a little break.
