Nothing really compares to revisiting your hometown through a tourist's eyes, even if it's only for a day. It's a chance to remind yourself (for me), "Hey, my city is actually pretty cool, I guess." I tend to forget about the awesome museums, the underwhelming tininess of the Alamo, and the overwhelming number of wide-brimmed cowboy hats lining the storefronts of downtown. These are a few shots from the museum Merritt and I explored and our 20-minute (literally) adventure downtown.
The museum had (aside from its permanent exhibition) an awesome exhibit about festivals in Seville, Russia, and San Antonio (¡Fiesta!), complete with costumes and beautiful sketches.
