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.

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.

These windows in the dining room at Dave & Buster’s are most awesome.  I arrived late for lunch, and had the whole place to myself.  It is Wednesday, and that means half priced games all day.  They also have some food specials that include reduced priced entrees if you purchase a game card.  My lunch today was the Parmesan Garlic Chicken Caesar Salad and a Sour Lime Slush to drink.  Yum!
