We got downtown around 11:00 and it was still nice and cool enough to walk around a bit. There is one very large building (that used to house all the produce for the Farmer's Market) that is now chock full of little shops and stalls. There is more bright color and cheerfulness in there than you can imagine. At one point I thought to myself, "Why didn't I come here last spring when I was looking for a suitable hostess gift representative of Texas?" Oh my goodness, I hope I remember this for next time.
Anyway, we walked and browsed all around the building, slipping into some shops for closer looks, even finding a treasure or two to take home to PA! Adrian has a fine set of blue and red maracas! After a while our breakfast wore off and we found a nice little booth that made carne guisada tacos and gorditas. It was just enough to take the hunger edge off.
After we had satisfied our curiosity in that building, we set off across the street to what is known as Market Square. There are lots of food booths, many restaurants and specialty stores, and on the weekends, lots of loud music! Meredith and Kate ran into Mi Tierra for some Mexican pastries before we made our way into the original market. There was so much of the same stuff we had seen across the street, we decided to just buy some sodas and head for the car.
After getting all buckled in, Adrian asked Kate to get him his number book and before you could even blink he was fast asleep! I think we were all ready for some rest as we made our way back home. More Texas memories for Kate to tuck away, but definitely not the last of them! Here are some photos from the morning.
