Philip and Diana, whom we had met in North West Vista College earlier in the week, called for us at 9 am and took us for breakfast to the Guenther House. This house was in decorated and furnished in art-nouveau style and is associated with a long standing flour mill.
The food was good. We had breakfast tacos
and pancakes with maple syrup and fruit.
Diana and Philip then took us to the King William district where there were a lot of old houses from the 19th centuary and many of which had been restored and one or two as musems.
We then travelled out along the San Antonio river and visited a couple of the old missions built around the same time as the Alamo mission in San Antonio.
The countryside round San Antonio is fairly flat and the trees are not particularly tall. The geology is limestone and reminded me a little of the Dordogne in France.
We finished up in a bar in Down town San Antonio called “The Friendly Spot” to sample the local beers.
This a very interesting day with great hosts Philip and Diana. Thankyou.
PS Weather: clear blue skies and temperatures about 24C.
