San Antonio At Night Is A Delight

November 9, 2009

When I started my series of posts called “my neck of the woods,” I didn’t want to talk about the Alamo, because that’s what every tourist knows. However, one cannot be in “The Alamo City” without snapping a picture of it. For those of you who don’t know The Alamo City, bless your hearts, that [...]

Creating Art At Sunrise Pottery

November 3, 2009

I went to Artisan’s Alley in San Antonio with little hopes of holding on to my pocketbook. I had visited the shops there before and I knew that temptation awaited me. The tiny shopping center is located at 555 W. Bitters Rd., and you won’t find it unless you are looking for it. I definitely [...]

Ghost Busting At The Menger

October 31, 2009

I felt the chill begin at me knees, and swiftly rush to my heart. I felt as if I had entered an industrial freezer, but it was only the hallway of the Menger Hotel. Gooseflesh rose on my arm as I gasped. Beside me I heard my friend Judy gasp at the same moment. “There [...]

Durty Nellie’s on the San Antonio Riverwalk

June 6, 2009

The sign looked “charming.” As my friends and I strolled the Riverwalk in San Antonio a few weeks ago, we were looking for a place to sit down and have “refreshments.” This looked like a likely spot. “Durty Nellie’s,” I said. “Isn’t that interesting. Well, I’m a good Scots-Irish lassie, so let’s stop at this [...]

Scenes From The River Walk

May 21, 2009

One of the most lovely attractions of San Antonio, Texas is the downtown River Walk. We didn’t have much time to spend there after work yesterday (and trust me — you could spend hours there). Most of our time was spent in a pub. That’s a story for another day! I’m driving across Texas today [...]
