Day two in Tejas!

Day two was a bit more low key after our whirlagig Friday.

We woke up late, did a little work (well some of us did) and headed out to tour the town.
First stop was market square and had a major nibble at Mi Tierra, and old school Mexican restaurant that has reached Show Biz Pizza Place cult status. Lines of 'neds' in tevas and moo moos waiting for a chalupe and margarita. We tore it up in there with tco salads, cheese nachos and tamales. No wonder San Antonio is the second fattest city in America.

Next stop was El Mercado, a massive inside flea market full of Mexican wrestling masks, embroidered Mexican dresses (very Mrs. Roper!) and Day of the Dead glittery skull sculptures. After we fought over Nacho Libre outfits we headed over to the Smithsonian Museo de Alameda, a museum dedicated to Latin culture. The main exhibit was of propaganda posters from the 70's and 80's. We participated, marching around the museum with posters on stakes. We didn't exactly stir up the custodians into a mace enduced frenzy, but we looked good!

For a little break we tooled over to Sarah and Kerr's new condo (three stories with elevator!) to take a tour, have a drink and sit by the pool. It was such a treat just to SIT and do nothing with good friends and amusing dogs. Sarah had to head to Austin for an event so we headed off to the San Antonio Missions.

PIT STOP! As we were driving over we passed by a Target, made a u-turn and checked out Justin's jewelry. It looked great and we bought some pieces for the archive before continuing our drive to the Missions.

We stopped at the one where Sarah is getting married in two weeks, Unfortunately it had just closed (Thanks Justin!) but we strolled the grounds and watched the sunset behind the tower.

Now it was my turn to request a pit stop- Chic fil A!
We ordered piles of sammiches and headed home to watch Sweeny Todd and inhaled crispy culinary fast food delights.

In bed by 12:30.
Heaven!
