Memorial Day Weekend May 27, 2019

Am I going anywhere in June?  Well not very far, we decided to vacation in San Antonio. People come from all over to be here and we already are. First stop, the Japanese Tea Garden.

Originally constructed in 1915 in a rock quarry, the Parks Foundation has re furbished this gem.

What is a Japanese Garden Pool without Koi (japanese carp) ?

We then retreated to the https://www.bombaybicycleclubsa.com/ just a block west on St Mary's.  A unique holdover from what used to be a nation wide franchise.

What could be more kitsch than an Alberto Vargas imitation?

The place is packed with all sorts of collectible memorabilia, here is a sample.

I never have quite understood the murals of animals playing cards but here is one for the record books.See below.

Bombay is on St Mary's just west of US 281, the Garden is another block down the street. Bombay is very casual, burgers, beer, appetizers and such. She had a burger and I had the turkey avocado bacon, we had to split each and bring the other half home in a carry out. Cheap thrills, stay tuned for more vacation fun in SA.
