Sashay with Us: Busy Week

We had a busy week leading up to Christmas. David & Patricia are in San Antonio this week. Nick was flying in on Sunday, the 19th. We decided to meet up after Nick arrived and have dinner on the Riverwalk. We met in front of the Alamo. Took a couple more pictures of the Alamo, of course.
There was a Christmas tree in front of the Alamo Plaza. Later some carolers. Had a nice conversation with the pastor from the church. They were from Bulverde which is north and west of San Antonio.

Every now and then we manage to catch a picture of each other. Usually one of us wants to go take a few pics of something and the other waits. Caught each other while waiting on the Kimmels.

They arrived and we went down to the Riverwalk. There were supposed to be boats of carolers that evening but we only saw and heard one boat and a partial song. Oh well, it was nice catching up with them. We ate at Landrys. Sharon had snapper and I had a filet mignon.

You could see the lights so much better when it gets dark. Sun doesn't set until close to 6:00 down here. There was also carriage rides at Alamo Plaza. Took a couple of pictures of the carriages.

We had a great time but I was very very tired. Had worked Sunday morning and then walking around the Alamo - yea, you guessed it - the arthritis was really acting up. But I wouldn't have missed it for anything. It was great talking to them again.

We had such a good time on Sunday that we decided to get together again for lunch on Wednesday. We met at Mi Tierra (Mexican restaurant and bakery) and it's right next to El Mercado (Market). Mi Tierra was decorated - mainly the ceilings. Had to take a few pictures.

We walked around El Mercado for a little while. We bought a multi colored inch worm. It has a blue head with red antennas. Very cute and very small. There was a rack of hats and a sign that said - do not take pictures with hats on. So, Sharon stood beside them.

After this, we stopped at the bakery and picked up some Mexican pastries and candies. Neither one of us wanted to try the pumpkin or sweet potato candy - but it did look very interesting. The bakery is in the lobby of the restaurant. That's Patricia buying pastries. She walked away with a box and a bag. We just had a bag.
