Coahuila y Tejas - a photo on Flickriver

Coahuila y Tejas

            Prior to the 1836 independence movement, the area that is now the state of Texas was a part of the Mexican state of Coahuila y Tejas. Because it was a barren desert short on silver and gold, the state always had difficulty attracting residents. As a result, the Mexican government offered land on very favorable terms to anyone willing to settle there. A large number of Americans soon settled the state, but quickly decided they didn't want to live under Mexican rule. The result: Texas Independence.

This old Spanish mission, Mission San Juan, is one of five in San Antonio. The most famous of the missions is of course the Alamo, but I think the others are much better. Fewer people, more peace and quiet. Although I suspect that has changed with the creation of the San Antonio Missions UNESCO World Heritage Site.

This was taken just before sunset. That old tree was the perfect way for me to block the sun.
