Today we were in the Institute of Texan Cultures in San Antonio. It was very interesting but the different tribes and impacts of various impressed me. 

Just 12,000 years ago there lived humans. This people moved to America following mammoth and mastodons. 10,000 years before the climate and the conditions changed so the humans had to alter too. This is the reason for creating a new culture, the Folsom people. After some hundred years there was another tribe, the Archaic Indians. Some thousands years later people changed their living patterns. So the did not hunt anymore but farm. This is the reason why people organized some towns into confederacies. This tribe was named the Neo - Indians. Another tribe was the Indian Texans, they were different from English and Spanish.

In the  more modern time  a migration wave swept over Texas. 

Between 1840 and 1915 nearly 1,25 millions Swedes left their homeland to resettle America. 

But also Danes and Germans settled Texas, so it was very mixed. But the migration did not end with these countries. It was very surprising for me that a Japanese Experience influenced Texas, too. Another surprise was the Lebanese.

This Institute was well organized so you could explore the different impacts one by one. 

In addition you could try some historic clothes. This is not possible in Germany! 

So I was very surprised. 

After the exhibition we walked on the River Walk and explored the Mall. We were hungry so we tried Which Wich, this restaurant do not exist in Germany, so we did not understand how does it works.
