After saying goodbye[again] to our new found friends this morning we meandered over to the Mercado area of San Antonio to go through the Mexican market area. As expected, it was full of bright colors and souvenirs. We picked up a few little things, and had planned to eat at one of the two restaurants there, but decided they were both a bit pricey. Since our erstwhile neighbors had highly recommended the little Mexican place across the street from the campground, we headed back that way and ate for about one-third the price! The food was yummy and I picked up an empanada for later.
After lunch and a stop back at the campground, we headed off to the San Jose' Mission. What an interesting couple of hours we spent there, learning about the life of the missionaries and Indians who lived there in the 1700's. Nothing was crowded today, which we loved and it was cool and cloudy for much of the day. I think the trip to the mission was one of my favorite parts of our stay here.
We met another nice couple (who also had a beautiful dog) this evening from Delaware. After chatting for a few minutes, we realized that they had been following us for a week or so and that we are all headed to the same campground next. They were very impressed with all of the renovations we had done. They are "newbies" to camping, and he had lots of questions for hubby about what he had done underneath the trailer. Perhaps the most satisfying part of RVing to me is meeting new people along the way. We also had an interesting rig move in across the street. It is all silver and has 3 horse stalls. The truck hauling it is a semi truck cab. HUGE rig!
Tomorrow is a travel day, as we head NW to Ft. Stockton. Take care, and visit us often as we move along.
