The Missions
December 29 to December 30
We left Tyler on the morning of the 29th and spent the day driving south to San Antonio. Saturday was spent touring the 4 missions just south of downtown. At one of the missions a group of 4 people stopped to admire Zaph — one of the fellows let Zaph finish his Doritos chips and one the women fawned over him. She pulled out her cell phone and showed me pictures of her two miniature Dachshunds — definitely a dog lover.

Whose that doggy in the window? One of the old buildings at Mission Estrada.
Old walls at Mission San Jose
The Rose Window at Mission San Jose. This window was being renovated when we stopped here in April.

Mission San Jose has a water powered wheat grinding mill. One of the volunteers was on hand to explain the process.
