Today we went by bus to San Antonio. The weather was really good! - Lots of sun and heat:-)
We first went to the Alamo:
The last couple of days in school we have been told a lot about its history and the Spanish Missions. Very interesting history! So it was cool to see. We found out that a Dane had been there and died there in the battle. And also that he had been one of the guys designing the Texas flag, which looks like this:
The star was the danish guys idea. They have it everywhere here in Texas. On trashcans, in the pavement, everywhere! - When it is not on the flag it is drawn like what we/I know as the punk-star:
Here it is called "The Lone Star". I think its pretty cool:-)
After wards we went to see and old Spanish mission called "San José". That was also very interesting!
Here the intrance to the catholic church in the mission:
A window were the priest read out loud from the bible, to the indians who were not yet Christians and could not be inside the curch:
When we were finished at the Spanish mission we proceeded to the famous River Walk in San Antonio. We ate lunch at a boat going up The River Walk. It was very beautiful sight in a special way. A very nice trip!! - Our guide was very funny and knew a lot of stuff from Wikipedia:-P
Our boat:
When we were done we got a couple of hours in San Antonio by ourselves. The city is very special and beautiful i think in some very special way! - I enjoyed seeing it, and i really want to go there some other time and have some more time there:-)
Morten and I meet some people in a park there with red T-Shirts on, with a text on it saying something like "Sharing the love of Jesus"
