OCTOBER 14 - SAN ANTONIO River Walk and the Alamo

SUNDAY
OCTOBER 14, 2012
 
The first order of our day was to attend
11:15 Mass at Saints Peter and Paul Parish
in New Braunfels, TX.
It was a joyful celebration with the
Young People serving the Parish
as Lectors, Ushers, and as Musicians.
The group was at least 25 strong and
included a very accomplished Violinist,
Flute and Guitar, and Keyboard.
 


 
 
The stained glass windows were magnificent.
 
 
We went to Camping World to Swap Out the Magellan,
and then had lunch at a nearby Burger King.
 
We stopped back to our RV for our Camcorder
 and then drove into town to see the Alamo,
 and take a ride on the River Boat,
along the River Walk. 
The ride only cost $6, and
was narrated for the 30 minutes it took.
 
 
 
THE ALAMO




RIVER BOATS




The River Walk is lined with outdoor eateries.
Many had music during the afternoon.
 
 





 
SAINT ANTHONY
the Patron Saint
of San Antonio.
 
We completed our adventures in San Antonio
by having dinner at Maria Mia
Mexican Bistro,
almost at the foot of
the escalators from the Marriott Hotel,
along the River Walk.
 
We tried and loved two recipes
we had never had before:
 
CARNITAS and CARNE GUISADA.
 
Both were so good, that I am hoping
I have the recipe in a Mexican Cookbook,
I received as a birthday gift,
from Rog and Carol.
