My
absolutely favorite mission is down the road from the RV park. It is called the Queen
of the Missions. I’ve been here many times (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) but always visit at least
once during a visit to San Antonio.
I
walked down one morning and walked the area before it officially opened for the
day. Actually, I thought I might attend the morning mass. I’m not Catholic, but
was interested in seeing mass. But when I got there, I saw only one person in
the front rows that I think was a sister. There was no way to blend in! Instead
I took some pictures outside and walked back to the RV.
The
Rose Window is considered one of the finest examples of baroque architecture in
North America.
The
exterior walls of the chapel has portions of the original plaster and coloring.
It must have been quite a sight.
We’ve
had a lot of rain that flooded parts of Riverwalk for a day. But the spring
flowers are out!
