San Antonio Missions - Tue 3/20

Another rest day.  The thunderstorms gave us a good show last night setting off alarms in the parking lot all night.  Somebody told me that a tornado destroyed a bunch of homes just north of here.  But we haven't been caught in the rain yet.

We rode buses and toured the San Jose Mission (photos one and two) and the Concepcion Mission (photo three).  The San Jose Mission has been restored as a wonderful example of what mission life really was like.  The walls enclosed 5 acres and included housing for about 300 people.  I can see why so many Indians wanted to join the church and live there.

The truth from Ruth:  It's been fun relaxing and being tourists for a few days.  Back to riding tomorrow.
