Pearl Brewery



Historic Brewery--the XXX in the logo demarked the BEST beer in town
when the kings tasters come through to preview a stop 
On Jan. 4th we returned to San Antonio to pick up the car and head 4 hours south to our winter home.  This only took 2 days but it seemed like it took a MONTH.  About half way to San Antonio Fitz said s***.  This is not good—he does not use this word often and when he does it does not connote good news.  We had left the Honda keys in Nashville.  Sooooo we got Nick to go over to the house and overnight them to us to the hotel.  We rented a car for a couple of days.  Long, boring story is that we did not leave San Antonio for 2 days and we practically had to take a loan out when we finally broke her out of the Airport Parking Garage.  We did go to an RV show at their convention center and then we went to the Pearl Brewery area that has a wonderful farmers market every Saturday and Sunday. The Culinary Institute has several gourmet restaurants there  and we took a short tour of the 1883 brewery (which is now a special event venue).   So we had some fun but it was just hard to consider it fun as Fitz was beating himself up the entire time for forgetting the keys.  On Saturday afternoon we drove back to La Feria listening to the Titans beat KC in the NFL playoffs.  Both of us came back with the mother of all colds (maybe a little flu mixed in) so we may take a while to settle back into La Feria life. 
Lots of tasty treats at the Culinary Institute Farmers Market
 
Will definitely return with a healthy appetite
 
Been trying to go to the CIA since we were in Hyde Park, NY (there are 3 of these in the US)
