This is an awesome Christmas Tree. Saw it at the Tamalefest. I want a tiny guitar for my tree, I used to have one when I was really little.

I used to play it and record my songs.

I wanted to be a Country music singer.

Now this was a nice tasty find. Somehow I went to a tamale festival. Ate a bunch of Tamales, yet failed to take a picture of a single one.

Awesome.

But then there is this. a Ribeye fajita taco. It is amazing Tasting. It was provided by a catering company. But I need to figure out how it was made.

Shredded meat, onions, peppers. All it needs is cheese to make it perfect.

Forgot to post this photo last night, this is from the walk along the Museum Reach.

Under this water, there is a dam, or what is left of it.

The Spanish put in this dam, and the people of San Antonio forgot about it.

Until they found it while working on the reach.

The lights in the water mark where the dam was at, so they are not part of the neat Christmas display.

Last night I went on a walk with Social Media Club San Antonio through the Museum Reach, a new part of the River in San Antonio.

This is their first year in existence, so they decided to decorate the river for Christmas time.

But they did not want to decorate it live the Riverwalk, they wanted something new and original.

The first thing they did, was put color gels on the railing.

They also wrapped lights on the lamp posts, and put lights under the water. The underwater lights are the kind you typically use for fishing, not sure how they got them to be different colors.

This is not part of the normal Christmas lights, but is there anything more festive to have than light up flying fish?

Short answer is no. I actually want one of these for my room. These are under a bridge and really pretty.

Finally, we got to this bridge. This bridge was part of the old Lone Star Brewerie, but was later purchased by a rancher out in West Texas.

The rancher never picked it up, and eventually it was turned into this bridge.

It is a very pretty walk, and it is really nice to see Christmas lights without having to step over tourists.
