How to Leave
I love some nice signage.
This is straightforward, and graceful with the way the bold strokes of the letters are enhanced by the narrow lines behind them. And also – the meaning is clear, and nothing is misspelled.

KRESS
The early sun slices across the letters of the old dime store.
Of course, Kress stores have been gone for a while; this is now a restaurant. I’m glad they kept the letters.

Preparations at the Alamo
Until I spent a few days at the Menger Hotel, with a room that faced the plaza in front of the Alamo, I really didn’t have any idea how many events take place there. There were several every day; set-up started early to accommodate the back-to-back scheduling.

Those thick adobe walls protect the interior from the white-hot heat of a Texas summer.

The Server’s Breakfast
Mi Tierra is open all night; there’s no way to tell if it’s 9:40 in the morning or at night.
The best thing about stopping here is that it reminds me of a song, which is a shocking revelation to my friend Ehpem. Lyle Lovett’s song “San Antonio Girl” rhymes “Mi Tierra’s and “huevos rancheros”, a rhyme scheme that’s unexpected to say the least.
