Biking the Mission Trail

March 13
Today we biked the Mission Trail along an 18 mile bike trail. We started at Mission Concepcion, then to Mission San Jose which we toured last week, on to Mission San Juan and then Mission Espada. We had to wait to look inside the church at Mission Concepcion because it is Sunday and they still hold church services at the mission churches much to our surprise. The missions (5 in total) were built along the San Antonio river by the Indians under the direction of the Spanish. Following our ride we treated ourselves to a delicious meal and beer at a local barbeque restaurant called Auggies Barbed Wire Smokehouse. Todd and Jess, you love this one when you come next week.
