San Antonio!
Spent the first morning at the Institute of Texan Culture...
betcha didn't even know there was such a thing as Texan culture!
I was eyeing this dress as potential attire
for the Queen of the Library.
A woman making her own yarn from cotton.
My husband was drawn to the cowboy wagon.
Of course.
Then we were off to La Villita,
a little village of artists and craftsmen.
Look at his amazing work.
You gotta eat Mexican food along the Riverwalk.
And be serenaded by a mariachi band.
A persistent duck kept pecking my husband's booty.
So beautiful.
Time for the conference.
The incredible Rick Riordan.
I love Jason Chin's work.
I got this autographed for the library
David Ezra Stein.
Tom Lichtenheld.
Reading Rainbow's LeVar Burton.
And the one-and-only Mo Willems.
Fabulous time was had by all. As they say.
Looks like you had a lot of fun in the Alamo city!
