Okay, so this post is a little late. It has been one crazy week. This past weekend was my date night turn. Crammed in between all of our obligations, I only had a window on Saturday afternoon :) We jumped in the truck and headed to San Elizario for the annual Christ Kindle Market, a German tradition. Mix German tradition with a border town and you get a very unique experience. There were a ton of tents, shops and galleries that we browsed through. Chris surprised me and bought me a lazy susan with sunflowers inlaid in stained glass. It is beautiful, and the new centerpiece on my kitchen counter! We ate lunch at the El Bandido Cantina. Chris got a burger and I had some of the best enchiladas I have ever had! A couple Mexican beers topped off the meal. The weather was really nice and we were able to explore a little more of the town. San Elizario also happens to be the last town on the Mission Trail and we snapped a couple pictures of the outside of the Church. San Elizario itself was a very strange mix of obvious poverty and high-end art galleries. It was a quintessential, dusty, West Texas border town.
We had a fantastic day. Since Chris didn't find anything at the market, we stopped by DSW on the way home so he could pick up a new pair of black boat shoes (his new favorite style). It was a wonderful afternoon, and we may just be making a trip back to the El Bandido for some enchiladas in the future.
