Saturday was also the day that San Antonio holds is annual Calle de Arte, or Street of Art. I hopped in a cab Saturday morning with some fellow southsiders while David recuperated at home watching what turned out to be an awesome Hawkeye win. He made our way up to San Antonio, which only took two cabs. About 3 minutes after Sam, Rita and Carlos picked me up, our first cab driver told us we better take a different can as he didnt think his would make it up to San Antonio. At least he was honest. So we got out and switched taxis.
I had intended to complete all of my Christmas shoppin here, but as indecisive as I am, I walked away with nothing. Not that there weren't things worth purchasing. There was so much beautifully handcrafted jewelry, bags, art etc. Apparently piggy banks are a big thing because it seemed as every other table had hand painted piggy banks. Some favorites of mine were those painted and dresses as various characters suck as Batman, a singer from Kiss, Captain America and even Freddy Kreuger, creepy. There was also music everywhere. And beers. Happy Saturday to us.
After shopping down the 2-3 streets filled with art, we made our way to a co-workers home where her French chef of a husband was making and selling Quiches. They named their place Don Quichote, fully equipped with lamenated menus and evrything. How cute. We met up wth some other techers are the festival and about 10 of us sat and had lunch at their house. For $10.000 pesos each (about $5 USD) we got a slice of quiche of our choice, salad and a glass of wine. Can't beat it.
Also, yay for me making a signature! Check out my fancy HTML skiiillllz.
