San Antonio, Texas March 23, Sunday.
A fine bright and warm day. Not a cloud in the sky. Walked around the center of the City, said to be the lay-out one in Texas, for an hour and then back to the Hotel. San Antonia does not at all look to me now as I remember it of 1906 other on my way to Mexico City. I remembered the Alamo, but all has so changed in the last 18 years that there are no other land mark.
At 10:30 I am off in a Studebaker new car for Austin. It's the Red Ball line very fine, and there are other auto lines to Austin. We go through the German settlement of New Braunfels where my father brother settled in 1865. The signs on the stores show German names, and one 90% of the people are Germans. It's a town of 7000 to 10,000 people. The turnpike runs fine all the way.
