Getaway from Houston : San Antonio Missions National Historical Park
"Though I am not Catholic, it was a blessing to see Spanish Colonial religious architecture at its finest. It was my favorite thing I did in San Antonio. There is so much history about these missions. It is amazing thinking about the people that were here hundreds of years ago right where one is standing"
