Darren served us breakfast at 8:30 and we were in Old Town San Antonio by 10 and beginning
our history lesson on the Alamo. After the Alamo, we got on the RiverWalk and walked to the
San Fernando Cathedral, which is lovely. Remains of Crockett, Bowie and others who died at the Alamo are buried here. To the Mercado, which is very colorful, and full of items we were not interested in purchasing. We needed a cool drink and Ken chose a really neat bakery/ restaurant/ bar which is tastefully decorated in a Mexican/Southwestern theme. We received an education on Tequila from our bartender, a very nice young man who did not seem old enough to drink. Two things we remember: Good tequila is made from 100% agave, and tequila is mescal from the Tequila region/state of Mexico (like champagne is sparkling wine from the Champagne region of France). To the Spanish Governors Palace, then back to RiverWalk, which is beautiful, gorgeous trees, flowers,and lots of people, all of them very nice. Tomorrow--on to Austin!
