Mission San Francisco de la Espada
This morning we drove back to San Antonio - about three and a half hour drive. In the afternoon we visited the two remaining missions we didnt have time to see last weekend - San Juan Capistrano and Mission San Francisco de la Espada. On the way back into San Antonio, we stopped for a short walk around the King William Historic District, which was settled in the late 19th century by prosperous German merchants, who built magnificent mansions and named the 25 block area after Kaiser Wilhelm of Prussia. The other residents of San Antonio were rather less complimentary about this German area, which they nicknamed "Sauerkraut Bend"!! Then we went to the Rivercenter Mall and saw the movie The Alamo at the IMAX theater, then had one last dinner on the Riverwalk, before we return home tomorrow.
