La Antorcha de la Amistad

If you are walking in downtown San Antonio, you are likely to see a large sculpture called the Torch of Friendship.  You may also experience direct sunlight and off in the distance, see the sunshine glinting off the exterior elevators as they carry passengers up to the top of the Tower of the Americas.

Rathskeller

Today’s most excellent lunch was found at the Rathskeller Restaurant in the town of Fredericksburg.  True to its name, it is located in the basement of a stone building on the main drag through town.  My lunch today was the Jaeger Schnitzel with red beans, German potato salad, and iced tea.  It was so good that I wish I could have ordered seconds.
