We had a very nervous (lots of traffic and unexpected lane changes) drive through the city of San Antonio to finally arrive at Travelers World RV Park.

After touring the local Del Webb retirement community, we set out to see the tourist attractions in San Antonio. We went to all the San Antonio missions--beautiful churches built in the 1700s by Franciscans trying to convert the Coahuiltecan Indians to Catholicism.

| Mission San Jose—Ray dropped his sunglasses under one of these bushes and we found them an hour later. |
 |
| Mission Concepcion |
 |
| The aqueduct near Mission San Juan |
 |
| Mission Espada |
 |
| Ray and I at Mission San Antonio de Valero, otherwise known as the Alamo |
At the Alamo we wandered underneath an absolutely marvelous tree, then we emerged into a reenactment.

| Can you guess who's not in period costume? |
We then wandered over to the Riverwalk, enjoyed calamari at a restaurant, then took the Rio San Antonio Cruise.

It was lovely.
