Guadalupe River, The Alamo & San Antonio Photo Album

Hello everyone,

Must admit it's getting harder to keep up with this blog because we're on the go sooooo quickly and state parks are starting to blend into one another .... but I am resolved to do this as it's definitely a diary of sorts of  for us look back on and they'll be accurate as this all fresh in our minds !!! 

Okkkkkkkk ....this Park is in the middle of  NOWHERE!!!! But worth it !!! It's another real gem 💎.  After we checked in at #20 campsite we hopped on our bikes and decided to go find the Guadalupe River..... found a trail and meandered through woods until we saw the sun shining on a beautiful stratified limestone canyon wall... what a sight to see at a distance!!! So we biked right down to the river and explored the area.... wet our feet ....chatted with a lady and played pitch and catch with her son Josh... then explored some more.  Our 👀 were feasting on the immense beauty surrounding us ... we're sooooooo grateful and lucky to witness these beautiful natural wonders.

On our second day here we decided to go to San Antonio to visit  The Alamo and the Riverwalk. I was really touched by the Alamo's history not to mention how beautiful the the grounds are. I had no idea that the Alamo was a church with  a religious mission trying to convert the natives. Many years later the Alamo was converted to a fort and saw a lot of  bloodshed which ultimately led to the independence of Texas as a republic.  I thoroughly enjoyed visiting the Alamo. 

We decided to end the day with a stroll along the  Riverwalk..... that's what San Antonio's famous for. This is a very creative riverfront which hosted many, many restaurants,  we even saw a wedding and managed to find a geocache as well. The people were super friendly and the city was very clean. As you can see from the photo album we enjoyed our stay tremendously.... now off to Balmorhea State Park in west Texas !!
