San Antonio Memories

We had the most perfect day in San Antonio yesterday--75 and sunny.  It was made even better by the fact that we escaped Thursday before Northern California became a snowy mess.

I started San Antonio with a quick stop and delivery at the Quilters Market show.  Then we made a little jaunt over to see the Memories by the Yard shop.  What a wonderful, big shop---full of all kinds of quilt fabric and decorator fabric, too.  Their RoseCard displays are shown over on the rosecardpatterns.blogspot.com site.  Here we a a nice shot of the colorful front area of the shop. 
Then we cruised on downtown to the Alamo and Riverwalk.  I had no idea what a treat we were in for!  We literally spent the entire afternoon walking.  Besides the perfect weather, which certainly added to our lovely day, we enjoyed this magical place immensely.   Our lunch spot looked out over an intersection of the river.

Beautiful pathways, ornate historic buildings, a riverboat tour, and art.  A beautiful mosaic here, pretty as a quilt.
And just before we left, we caught a guacamole making demo courtesy of a dinner cruise chef.
