Kit and Carol on the Road

We arrived here on Wednesday (12/21). Gorgeous day. This RV Park is near the river and nearer a great bike trail that follows the river. We rode 6 miles out to the farthest of the four San Antonio Missions (which turns out to be another National Historic Park). Great bike ride followed by pool time. We have a wonderful warm pool in this Park.
Today (Thursday) we took the bus into the city—it’s about 3 miles. I had no expectations for the Alamo so was pleasantly surprised. It is the first of the 4 original missions and of course the site of the famous siege. From here we went looking for the famous Riverwalk, which was also a pleasant surprise. An oxbow in the river is now almost a canal with a walkway all along it on two sides. Lots of vegetation and waterfalls. Lots of restaurants. No small shops like I expected. All in all we had a fun day though it was not at all what we expected. We were expecting something like pre-Christmas shopping in Portland but Christmas is very low key here. We are planning to stay here an extra day to do some more biking and see the rest of the missions—and to enjoy some more pool time. It’s supposed to be in the 70’s tomorrow.
