...........And I will go to Texas

In the Mercado in San Antonio

Breakfast at Mi Tierra

Yes, Mariachi singers at breakfast.

We got up early on November 1st and headed south for Texas. We'd made the drive many times in the past, but we must have been younger then.
After a ten hour drive we got to the R V park in Denton, Texas; wiped out.
The next day we visited one of John's favorite restaurants - The Trail Dust. This is one of those places with ties cut in half and nailed to the wall. We ate there, then left the next morning for San Antonio.
We both really like San Antonio. The weather is usually sunny and warm, but it was raining and windy when we drove down and stayed that way for the night. We were both still worn out from the first day's drive.
Thursday morning was sunny and beautiful, so we set out for the Mexican Market and a restaurant called Mi Tierra. Mi Tierra has been featured on the Food Network and the Travel Channel. It's open 24 hrs, and famous for it's bakery. As you saw in the above photo, it's a festive place. We've been here at several different times of the year, and it seems to always look like this. When I asked our waitress how often they changed the decorations, she said 3-4 times a year and the last change was a week ago.
Mi Tierra is the home of

BREAKFAST # 6

This is a meal John raves about. All other Mexican breakfasts are compared to #6 and pale by comparison. This is the ideal egg and frijole fantasy. The family made chorizo sausage is heaven on a fork. The warm flour tortillas melt in your mouth. The salsa is a touch on the warm side, but so delicious!!!!!!!!
When our friends and family flew to San Antonio with us a few years ago John took them straight to Mi Tierra for this perfect experience.

Many things in life just don't live up to expectations, but Thursday morning John's Breakfast #6 was every bit as fabulous as he remembered. It took a while to get there but when it arrived it was exactly as perfect as recalled.

That was about 9am. At noon he didn't feel all that great anymore. By 3pm he wasn't up to doing too much. He skipped dinner all together.

For lunch today I had chili rellenos, while John had a hamburger patty.

Tomorrow we leave for Corpus Christi,
after our standard breakfast cooked at home.

Viva Zapata!
