Fiesta Mexicana mayhem

Last day for us to witness how San Antonians party. At the Market Square I had to try Mango with chilli.

Yummy - tasted just like ours @ home. I will make it for us once we are backHope, we will have a good harvest.
The Buckhorn Saloon. This sign is made of the rattles of the rattle snake

Now off to the party. We had no idea what to expect. We were told tales of about 200 plus food booth featuring food from all over the world. Parking was again terrible. All the lots were $ 20 or more. On that 3. day we were so good, that we always found a place to park for free in only rather short walking distances. And after all the food we ate it was a good thing walking some of it off.

The town of the Alamo
By the time we made it to the festival, it was well under way. $ 15 a head entry fee and with coupons in hand for drinks and food we weaved our way into the mayhem. We saw food both represented from France, Italy, China, Spain, Ireland, Mexico, Greece, Germany, too many to count. Well over 200 different things to taste, that's for sure.


Inside the German area (inside) with polka music and.....

.....of course, a bratwurst-stand. Not really a bratwurst, more a Burenwurst like in Vienna. Yummy!

Just a fraction of all the people in one food/country section. Now multiply that by all the countries represented.
We were glad we did participate. Glad it "payed" to stay for 3 nights. One never knows what is going your way. But I tell you, vacationing is hard work. :-)
