It seems each group of visitors that come to SA come bearing their own agenda about what to see, where to go. My wife and I have found that by going with the flow we see many new things as well. After we adjust their perspectives, such as no we can't drive to El Paso and back this afternoon, we usually emerge with a do-able itinerary. Recently, some old friends declared they wanted to see the Painted Church. We had no idea what these were. Turns out they are churchs whose interiors are lavishyly painted with decorations, scenes, saints and symbols. The colors are bright and the visit on a Sunday afternoon was very quiet, almost eerie in how few people were around. We saw four churchs all near Schulenberg, TX, about half-way between San Antonio and Houston.
