Touristing in San Antonio, pt. 2

Some of the cultures that settled Tejas

Some of the good things made in Texas

Following the visit to the basilica, Charles ventured downtown to the Institute of Texan Cultures.  The museum is in the shadow of the shadow of the Hemisphere tower and celebrates the ethnic heritage of the peoples who came to establish Texas. 

Starting with the earliest inhabitants up to more recent arrivals,  Techas or Tejas as it was once known, has been home to a wide-range of settlers.  This neat museum and well-worth the time to take in if you're in the neighborhood!
