8 Things: Honoring Place

We've lived in San Antonio for quite a while now and while I can emphatically state I never expected to come back to live in Texas and I, at times, long deeply for Southern Maine, Ithaca, Oberlin, or Gainesville, I have come to love certain things about this town. Here are a few - in the spirit of Magpie Girl's "8 Things."

1. The Riverwalk. Even the shortest walk along the river can feel like a romance.

2. Cutting through Brackenridge Park on the way to anywhere.

3. The Farmer's Market, even in extreme summer heat.

4. The Missions.

5. Locally owned burger joints.

6. The breeze. There is almost always a breeze blowing through San Antonio.

7. The Missions. I love minor league baseball.

8. Really good enchiladas.
