Built in 1731, this aqueduct is amazing and is still used by local residents today. To the left of this picture, we hiked up the side to see the top of this structure. We watched the water flowing across the top of this bridge. We stuck a long stick in the water to measure how deep it is which was close to 3 feet deep. So looking at this picture, imagine water about 2 or 3 inches from the top of the structure to maybe a 1 1/2 feet from the top of the arch just slowly flowing across the top.
The best part of this stop was the stray dog that followed us around. She loved the kids and the kids wanted to bring her home. Andrew even asked if we could stop by and pick her up on our way to Washington. LOL!!! Poor thing. As we were leaving, she plopped herself back under the shade tree by our parking spot waiting for her next possible owner to arrive. If we could have pets, I'd be very tempted to bring her home.

How cool! I've been wanting to take the kids to the missions. We haven't done that yet. I was waiting to study TX history. :-) We'll be starting it this year... but I think we'll go out to see the missions soon. Thanks for sharing!
