After leaving the beach in Galveston, Alan decided not to stop for the night. He wanted to keep driving. So that is what he did...he drove and I slept. He would pull over into a rest stop every couple of hours to take a nap. I woke up and we were in San Antonio, TX. At least n
ot having a hotel room for the night kept us within our budget! We were quite impressed with the touristy, downtown areas of San Antonio! Must say, much better than Savannah's tourist district. The first stop was visiting the Alamo. We were refreshed on our early American history as we explored the grounds. We then walked to the San Fernando cathedral. We did not stay long considering it was Sunday and they were between masses at the time. We continued walking to the Market Plaza which is very similar to Savannah's City Market. For lunch, we stopped at a booth where several ladies were making t
ortilla shells and gordita shells by hand. It was the best and most authentic taco and gordita that I have ever had. It was pretty amazing!! Next was a boat tour through the River Walk area. This area of San Antonio was beautiful, relaxing, and peaceful. It is a different world compared to the bustling city above. To end our time in this city, we took a driving tour of the 4 old Spanish Missions. The most amazing part is that the Mission chapels are still being used on a weekly basis for Mass. We didn't get too far outside of the city before the nice flat plains turned to rolling hills.
