Native Americans originally lived near the San Antonio River Valley, in the San Pedro Springs area, calling the vicinity "Yanaguana," meaning "refreshing waters." In 1691, a group of Spanish explorers and missionaries came upon the river and a Native American settlement on June 13, the feast day of St Anthony of Padova Italy and named the place and river "San Antonio" in his honor.^ "San Antonio: The City of St. Anthony - June 2004 Issue of St. Anthony Messenger Magazine Online"
Just checked into the Mokara Hotel in beautiful San Antonio. FIrst time to stay at the Mokara in the historical downtown area right on the Riverwalk. Good form because they offered us Champagne as we checked in at the lobby. We declined because we stuffed ourselves on BBQ in Schulenburg. After BBQ we turned on ZZTOP and headed to La Grange. We are in town for a wedding celebration for a good friend. www.mokarahotels.com
