The Alamo is in the middle of downtown and the other 4 are all 2-3 miles apart as you head south!

No not at all, it's great being able to look at other people's pics, as it gives you a great glimpse of what life is like around the world. If anything it really makes you want to travel around and witness all the beauty that our world has to offer.

Recently the road connecting all of the missions has been renovated. The street lamps mark the road.

Many tourist miss the spanish govenor's mansion. You can stand in the room where Jim Bowie signed his marriage license with Ursila Verimendi. She was the Govenor's daughter. The were marrried in San Fernando cathedral.

Never sold a picture in my life. Help yourself to anything I have.

Those are truly lovely.

Welcome to FG by the way :-6

They are indeed. I like the idea that such places exist in the USA.

wonderful photos JB, love how you shot the paths and such. They really draw you into the picture.!

I am told San Antonio is one of the few cities in the US where you can see the Euopean influence.

That's quite a website you've built, JB. What got you started on it?

Here they are again!

Beautiful pics, JB!!

I use the web to share pictures of travels and family events

with friends and family.

I think you're my long lost sister, Snooze.



Third pic down (of the doubles) on the left, yes? My fave.



Thanks mucho, JB. Estos son magnificos! Verdad!
