Today I posted our visit to the Spanish Governor’s Palace on December 5th. It was built to protect mission San Antonio De Valero, aka The Alamo and was the seat of Spanish Texas and the capitol building of the Spanish province of New Spain in 1772.

This is a real treat. Be sure to look at the Archive on the right for December 5th to see this treasure. Daughter Julie told us about how they were taken with it on their visit to San Antonio last March. We had never heard of it, and are we glad we had a chance to visit.

After leaving San Antonio, we drove over 1,000 miles in two days to get to Tucson, our favorite city in the southwest.

Coming up next: Visiting with friends in Tucson, Arizona.
