Discovering Market Square

...Continued from yesterday:
     The previous day while walking around downtown San Antonio we were intrigued by  street signs here and there  that pointed the way to Market Square.  So Thursday morning we decided to follow the signs to this Market Square and hoped to come upon some breakfast place along the way, which we did,

...a cute little place we spotted down a side street

...called The Oasis,

...where the price was right,

,...and the pancakes we ordered were good.
      After breakfast we continued walking along the city streets, seeking out and  following the signs,

...until we arrived at Market Square,  and felt as if we'd suddenly stepped into a charming Mexican plaza.

...lined with shops,

...and restaurants.

    The plaza was decked out for Halloween and the November 1 Mexican holiday, the Day of the Dead,

...as were the stores,

...which offered shelf after shelf filled with many sizes and varieties  of calaveras, the Day of the dead skulls.

...along with the many other interesting and colorful items available for purchase.

     We were enchanted by the place.
