Last day in San Antonio..
Posted by: curiousillusion on: June 25, 2009
Today is my last full day in San Antonio, and I have been so excited because, after 5 years of living here, I was finally able to go to Six Flags Fiesta Texas! As I mentioned, I was able to grab tickets for only $10 each thanks to a twitter deal, so I dragged a [...]
Such a Wicked performance…
Posted by: curiousillusion on: June 25, 2009
Wow. I should just leave it at that, because any words I use to describe what I saw last night will be inadequate. Last night I couldn’t sleep, partly because I was stressing over packing, but mostly because the performance kept running through my head… I’m talking, of course, about the musical [...]
Playing tourist, while I still can…

After today I only have 5 full days left in San Antonio, so I figured I’d better tackle the “to photograph” items on my list. I accidentally did 2 today… I went to Hemisfair Park to take pictures of the Tower of the Americas, but I also wandered around and managed to find myself at [...]
San Antonio Zoo
Posted by: curiousillusion on: June 17, 2009
So I have a list of places I need to go before I leave San Antonio and the zoo was one of them. Now, I’ve been to the zoo three times before but I’ve never been by myself – the last two times I went with my class on field trips and before that I [...]
Botanical Garden
Posted by: curiousillusion on: June 13, 2009
At work this past week, we had to plan field trips for the upcoming school year and the botanical garden was one of the suggestions. As soon as I heard it mentioned, I had to jump on the computer to google it – I had no idea that San Antonio HAD a botanical garden. [...]
Coldplay and other goodies…
Posted by: curiousillusion on: June 11, 2009
So I mentioned in my last post on the subject that I wasn’t really one for concerts. I haven’t been to many at all (I think maybe 6 or so) and while they were good… I didn’t find them great. And I don’t know, that might be just me… while I’ve been fans of [...]
McNay Art Museum
Posted by: curiousillusion on: June 7, 2009
Okay so I’ll confess, I’m not a museum-going sort of gal. I remember being dragged to museums when I was younger and not being all that impressed. Okay, so some of the art work is really incredible but then there are others that make me wonder how they came to end up in a [...]
So far…
Posted by: curiousillusion on: June 1, 2009
So far June is shaping up to be pretty good. Knock on wood, cuz I don’t want to jinx it, you know. But let’s see… next week I get to see Coldplay, and next weekend I get to watch Wicked (I think next weekend… we’re still deciding). I just learned about the [...]
River Walk Museum Reach
Posted by: curiousillusion on: May 30, 2009
So I’ve been looking forward to today for a few weeks, as soon as I learned that today was the day they were opening the new part of the San Antonio River Walk, called Museum Reach (because, yeah, it reaches the museums). I knew that I was going to take pictures of the [...]
5 years ago…
Posted by: curiousillusion on: May 15, 2009
5 years ago I moved here, to San Antonio. I’d visited MANY times before (my brother and I once counted that we’d been to the Alamo 11 times) for day or weekend trips but never thought about living here, until I got a job. I expected to stay for maybe 2 or 3 [...]
