We spent most of the afternoon wandering around La Villita, the artisan area with lots of painters, jewelers, sculptors. We had lunch at the Guadalajara Grill, where the food was way too greasy and the chicken taquitos were terrible but the decor was incredibly fun to look at. It included this gem of a sign.
This was taken on the Rio Boat tour. We've done it a million times, but I still get a kick out of it. It all depends on your guide!
We had dinner at Las Canarias, the fantastic hotel restaurant. Their pastry chef made this as a surprise for our anniversary! It included milk chocolate sprinkled with pink peppercorns, chocolate madeleines and mini apple tarts.
Another shot of La Mansion. Our room was on the first floor. Our balcony was right between those two trees. The bridge in the foreground is known as Selena's bridge. Jennifer Lopez sang from there during the making of the movie "Selena", the Tejano singer who was slain by her fan club president.
We had a lovely time. I think the best part - other than spending time together - was getting to sleep in til 10 AM! Blackout curtains and no kids made it very easy to snooze well past what we normally get to do at home!
