Also housed and is steeped in history. Two and a half centuries ago, within the enclosure is the Alamo Museum which has Spanish explorers and conquerors entered Texas and Texas relics dating from 1821 to 1846. The grounds of claimed the land as New Spain. Like the English who the Alamo are beautifully landscaped and paths wind settled the eastern coast of North America, the Spaniards throughout the area.

When the visitor thinks those interested in history and relics o f a past civilization, of San Antonio, the Alamo is the first point of interest a tour of these missions would be of great interest. that comes to mind. Known as the Shrine of Texas Liberty, Also a point of historical interest is the Spanish Gover the Alamo was originally the chapel of Mission San nors’ Palace, the only remaining example in Texas of an Antonio de Valero, founded in 1718 and now stands as aristocratic early Spanish home. Over the entrance, on a reminder of the past. During the war for Texas inde- the original keystone, is carved the imperial double-headed eagle of the Hapsburg coat of arms. Furnished in an early Spanish manner, one can see how grand life was long ago. Perhaps next to the Alamo, the San Antonio River which meanders through the very heart of the downtown business district, gives the city its unique flavor. Bordered by a profusion of semi-tropical foliage and flowers, it is so crooked the Indians used to call it “Drunken-Old-Man- Going-Home-At-Night”. The river passes beneath 23 bridges and is retained by stone walks which border it on both sides. One can board a gondola or cycle boat near the El Tropicano for a sightseeing trip, or take the walks that follow its winding course. Quaint shops and side walk cafes along the way are in keeping with the early Spanish heritage and offers some good buys. High above this “other world” are the busy streets of a large city. The people of San Antonio have made the most of their river, even building an outdoor theatre around it, the Arneson River Theatre, in which the river separates the stage from the tierred, grass-covered seats, fashioned from the bank. Various productions are staged here, and during the IOMSA meeting, there is a two-hour show featuring authentic dances, music and songs of Old Mexi co. Shows are held on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, beginning at 8:30 p.m., during June with tickets $1.50 for adults and 75 cents for children. Mem bers and their families who will be coming to the conven tion might wish to arrive Saturday in order to have time to see one of these lavish productions. Near the theatre is La Villita, a little village from the past, a city block restoration o f San Antonio’s eailies I he Alamo— Shrine of Texas Liberty residential settlement. The spot was a crude Indian Vi - 8 OIL M ILL GAZETTEER lage until, about 1722, it became the dwelling place of the soldiers attached to the Alamo. The La Villita en closure consists of various art and craft shops, including a glass blower, weavers and ceramics shop. A number of Spanish-Mexican houses, some with German trimmings, have been preserved there and lush tropical plants like the banana and bougainvillea mingle within the walls of this quiet place. Another attraction on the “must” list of visitors to San Antonio is Brackenridge Park and the Zoo, which must be reached by bus or car. The park has many man- made amusements and structures, but its real charm lies in the thickets and great oaks scarcely touched since first seen by Spanish explorers. Touring this 363-acre area could consume an entire day. Miniature replicas o f steam and diesel engines carry passengers through the park over three miles of track, while an aerial sky ride offers a view of the entire area.
