Fuimos al mercado

I was in the mood for Mexican curios, mariachis, papel picado and some great Mexican food.

It always cheers me up to be around these things.
At  El Mercado I paid a trio to sing Perfidia. I requested Como Fue from this one, lonely mariachi with a guitar. He sang his heart out because he said no one had requested that song in years and he said he loved being able to sing it again. I was too impressed and taken with his voice to whip out the camera being completely in the moment.
It is in my memory forever but I so wish I could have showed you.

I picked up a stone molcajete to replace the one that lost it's leg recently. It was an awesome afternoon!
Oh, and I happened upon Mike Nesmith Street.

This all sounds so wonderful. I love San Antonio, El Mercado, and the Monkees - someday over margaritas, I'll share a story with you and William from my past, when the Monkees got me through probably the 2nd darkest time of my life. And of course, I love Kerouac - my generation!!! auntie gwen
