Mi Tierra, Market Square, San Antonio

OK, it's worth going to Texas for no other reason than to go to this restaurant! And look! It never closes!

This is where we had lunch, in Market Square, in San Antonio.

I was practically drooling and hyperventilating in the entry alone, there was so much I wanted to photograph!

We were really, really hungry, and Doug managed more patience than anyone has a right to ask of Hungry Spouse, and I shot away, not getting the best settings or compositions in the world, but enough to play with.

Hot already (especially for us Northerners), the interior of this restaurant must be entirely heated by millions of little lights. I kept wondering about what the cost would be to replace them all with those new LED Christmas lights.

Who's that crazy woman with the camera hiding by the plants by the bathroom, photographing the restaurant. I try to keep photography in a restaurant to a minimum, but this place just begs to be photographed!



Here we made a Terrible Mistake. After the delicious, inexpensive, meal, we passed up dessert! What were we thinking? This place is well-known for its Mexican pastries, and we could have easily carried some back with us to our hotel. Oh, woeful day!

These guys came over and serenaded us by our tables.



And after this, we headed back to our hotel, where I rested for about 20 minutes, and then headed back to the River Walk without Doug, with my little River Taxi pass in one hand, camera in another, and multiple maps in the other.
