Hi, I'm "New" Here

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.

God Bless Girls That Say Y'all

 This past spring break I was lucky enough to spend it in sunny (mostly) California with Kate, Heather, and Katie. We laughed a lot ("How is he going to know if he wants to marry you if he doesn't look at your butt?!" and "It's how I like both my guac and my men: strong."), slept a lot, and (most assuredly) ate a lot of wonderful home-cooked meals, courtesy of the Borchards. Here are some pictures from the week! And the title is a quote from one of Kate's sweet grandparents (being southern and saying "y'all" is a novelty in California.)
