tons of delight by visitors.
Quite a novel sight to San Antonio
visitors is the Mexican district,
known as Little Mexico" Peeps
are taken into the bakeries where
much surprise is shown to see the
Mexican women grinding corn and
making tortillas. The original home
of the Spanish governor, built in 1740
is also occasion of much interest, as
also the coat of arms over the door.
Quite a bit of interest is shown in
the United States Arsenal, Uncle

Among the missions visited are San
Fernando Cathedral, built in 1743,
headquarters Of Santa Anna at the
time of the massacre of the Alamo in
1886, Mission of the Immaculate Con-

Mission San Jose. built by the Fran
ciscan fathers in 1901. A ten-minute
stop is made here where the guide ex-
plains different parts of the build

the venerable structure.
Having passed Mission San Jose,
the car comes to Brooks Field, the
United States balloon school, where
the government spent over $1,000,000
during the war.
The tourists and visitors having
asked several times, What river is
