Day 3 in Texas

St Anthony Hotel

Lunch at Mi Tierra 
(biggest sensory overload of my life!) 

Conchas!

(Mexican Sweet Bread) 

(the pastries were ok, but those we make in my Laminated class are better!) 

The Market in San Antonio

Snack for the drive... 

Of course, we would get stuck behind a truck.... 

Scenery not nearly as bad as I envisioned...

(seriously, I had envisioned nothing but dirt and sand and cactus and rolling tumbleweeds; 

this was much better)
