The Alamo- We couldn't possibly go to san Antonio and not see the Alamo, but it was getting late and there was a parade (for some reason) about to start so we couldn't find any parking. Rick let us out at the back side and walked quickly through the garden to the front, took about 7 or 8 quick pics and met him at the front street, jumped in the car and headed back to Austin. Maybe on another trip we might get to go inside. Although this looks like it is out in the middle of nowhere, it's actually very much in the middle of downtown.
Day of the dead display in a closer view. These small figures are dressed or doing things that relate to the person when they were alive. Most of them are very humorous and light hearted, not scary or sad at all. These dead people are enjoying themselves in much the same way they did when they were alive. I'm going to try my hand at making some of these since I didn't see any here that I connected with.
We drove down to San Antonio to the mexican market there so we could see Day of the Dead and other cultural symbols we don't see here at home.
The family together- Jeff, Rick, Delaney, Elizabeth and Louise.We were so happy we got a chance to see Elizabeth and Jeff, her fiance'on this trip. I think Delaney looks most like this cousin, so I enjoy taking pictures of them together.
