Being a Tourist for a day

Today was so much fun--my "Artist Date" as Julia Cameron calls it.  I went to the mercado and looked for tiles.

But I got there too early, so I had a little Mexican breakfast and walked around in the quiet of Market Square before the real tourists arrived.

I love this city!  When I first moved here in 1967, I was delighted by the colors everywhere.  Fiesta flags hang year round, as well as mosaics of tile and colorful tabletops.

I love the food, the colors, the people, everything about San Antonio.  I could spend a day just taking pictures downtown, but here are a few to entice friends and family to come here!
