We arrived in San Antonio to a temperature of 80 degrees and awoke this morning to something in the upper 30's! They refer to these cold spells as being driven by a "blue norther". It's an apt name. All your extremeties turn blue!
We had breakfast at Mi Tierra (my dirt) in a historic area called Plaza del Zacate. This restaurant has been here for about 100 years and claims that its doors have never closed. It's a 24-7 operation dating from a time when this was a red light district catering to farmers who brought their products to the market.
Following breakfast our next stop was the Institute of Texan Cultures looking for possible reference material on the river. Zero, zilch, nada...
We're about to get in the car and head south to Del Rio. More from there later.
We love Mi Tierra and we were there in December. Gracyn loves the Mercado area. Looking forward to your posts. Good luck and safe travels on your journey.
