A Quick Visit to San Antonio



We drove through San Antonio yesrterday. I've seen the signs on the highway, and always wondered. Oh, not the one in Texas, the one in Florida! (Betcha didn't know about this one!)


Here's the Cliff Notes version of the history of San Antonio:


Catholic influences are found throughout the town of 1577 folks. 

I grabbed a shot of the Garden Club gazebo as we went around the corner....
I kinda liked the suggestion of speed and reckless driving this suggests! 


This private school for pre-kindergarten to 8th grade offers a faith based education to approximately 200 students. The school opened in 1884. 

 San Antonio City Hall 

According to Mr. A. I (n)-stein: 

The City Hall building in San Antonio, Florida, is housed within a historic concrete block structure, originally known as St. Scholastica Hall. This building, completed in 1912, was part of a larger complex constructed by the Benedictine monks, including the nearby St. Leo Hall. St. Scholastica Hall served as a school building for Holy Name Academy

Panco Villa's Mexican Restaurant looks like it could be the real deal, in San Antonio, TX.
Can't you just imagine vaqueros with guns on their hips hanging around outside, ogling people driving by?

I enjoyed our quick side trip, on another beautiful day sunny moment in Florida. We will probably have our normal afternoon thunderstorms - it seems to be the thing around here.
