Breakfast consisted of cereal, soya milk, Hungarian Sausage under a gazebo in the RV park before driving into San Antonio. Our first stop were the four missions, Jose, Estrada, Juan and Concepcion. All fantastic buildings with very helpful volunteers like John who took us under his wing and did the normal 'so where are you from'?…England, Hungary and Portugal ;)We visited La Vilitia (please don't ask how its pronounced, I struggle with English words). The number of people dressed in green was quite disturbing, they were everywhere because it was St Patricks day. Although I'm not Irish myself I really wanted to survey people and ask what Irish connections they have.
We walked the river walk to the Alamo, the tourist honeypot of San Antonio and a tonne of information. We sat on the side of the river walk observing the differences between Americans and Europeans. Jo made a 'friend' who just appeared next to her. It was a hard hard drive back to Houston and a well earned sleep for a few hours.
