The chapel is quite small, but as I mentioned, is home to an ative congregation.
We had a really hard time finding Mission Concepcion. It's downtown San Antonio, just a short distance from the Alamo, in an area that you wouldn't imagine you'd find such a treasure. Most of the homes have bars on the windows and doors, the yards are filled with junk and overgrown shrubs and graffiti is common.
The church was being repaired so we were not permitted entrance. It seems to be quite large.
This view from the side boasts some huge palm trees.
We didn't learn much about the history of this mission, but it looked interesting, and I was wishing I could have seen the interior.
Tiny leaves are bursting forth amongst the bright orange berries. Spring is coming to Texas. The temperature was 62 on Tuesday and Wednesday, and I'm guessing it's at least that today. Rain coming tonight, though.

What a wonderful way to take a tour. You do all the work, and I just look. I know you are having a great time and looks like the weather is cooperating.
