After visiting friends and family in El Paso, our next stop was in San Antonio for three weeks at Medina Lake (https://www.thousandtrails.com/texas/medina-lake-rv-campround/) in Lakehills, TX. This RV Camp is about 30-50 minutes outside of San Antonio but we enjoy it. First, there are limited 50amp sites and the smaller rigs tend to take them even though they only need a 30amp. So we stayed in F20 with a 30amp. We did ok and cycled our air conditioning with out any problems. The great thing about being in F20 was that there was a large grassy area on the passenger side of the RV and there was a site with gravel in it so there were no neighbors. The other great thing is that all the deer loved coming here to get feed deer corn.
We also took a drive into San Antonio to look for murals. We are always amazed at the art at all of the cities we visit and the themes throughout the cities.
First stop was the murals under on the pillars beneath the I-35 Overpass at Quincy and St. Mary’s. These were painted by local artists who have a large range of experience. These murals were commissioned by the San Antonio Street Art Initiative (SASAI) which is nonprofit organization trying to paint all the “drab” buildings in the San Antonio which is known as an art city.
There 16 colorful murals on pillars that varied in themes. We tried to pull the artist’s name from the paintings. No publicized naming of these pillars.
Vibrant local music scene. In this piece sponsored by Google Fiber, Nick Long of Lonely Horse captures the local music and energy that pumps out of the famous St. Mary’s Strip. Los Otros pays homage to our local creative scene and the ones who make it thrive. Los Otros is a street art duo consisting of artist Shek Vega, and Nik Soupe. These two Texas artist have a twenty year work history together.
