More Exploring

So this past week we have explored more in San Antonio! I went with some friends on Monday to the Japanese Tea Gardens in Brackenridge Park. It was a pretty and we were able to hike around it and enjoy the 80 degree weather and sunshine! I didn't take any pictures because I was too busy chatting but here is a pic of the entrance from Wikipedia.

We also went to Central Market. It really is just a grocery store but they have all these imported cheeses and delicious fresh breads. They have samples out of a lot of the fruits and breads so it was really fun to walk around. Nick and I went back that night so that he could choose his Italian cheeses and breads. We will have to go back on a Saturday because they have a lot more samples out and supposedly you can get a whole meal just from walking around. I am especially excited about this market, and really any grocery store in San Antonio, because the fruit is so good! Idaho has the worst fruit and it was super expensive so living here where the fruit actually looks the color it is supposed to is great! But I still do prefer the northwest where we can get blackberries, raspberries and strawberries for free!

Next on our explorations I am hoping to go to the Natural Bridge Caverns. From the looks of it they remind me a little of when we hiked up Mt. Timpanogos and went into the caves. We might get to it next weekend, we will see! As for the rest of this week, on Friday all the interns wives get to tour USAA and have a luncheon so that will be fun! Then Friday night we might have some friends over and Saturday is Valentines Day!

Have a Happy Valentines Day!
