Description
The legacy and history of San Antonio and this region began with a simple ceremony when...
in 1718 Franciscans and Spanish representatives established the first mission. Within 13 years, five were located along the San Antonio River. The missions' purpose? To acculturate and Christianize the native population and make them Spanish citizens. Today, visitors can retrace the footsteps of the mission Indians and friars. And, possibly, meet descendants of those first inhabitants.

Lianne, what a super capture. I was stationed at Fort Sam Huston for a short period during 2954. As I recall this was a beautiful area w/so much history. This photo exemplifies that history as I remember it. Thanks for sharing. Also, thank you so much for your comment on my picture.
Lianne Schneider replied:
I am glad to know that the missions have been maintained but not changed much since you were there Dale. I love that so much about San Antonio - the sense of history one has there. I so appreciate your lovely and thoughtful comment, Dale. Thank you so much.

How very lovely of you Judy! Oh yes, 85 degrees in March was too much of shock to my system - lol. But I didn't like the hard freezes either. Thanks so much Judy.
