This past weekend, Matt and I took full advantage of NOT living in the middle of nowhere and the absolutely WONDERFUL weather. On Saturday we made our way out to Boerne for
Second Saturday. We had never heard of it before, but on Friday evening my mom brought it up and we decided it sounded like fun (plus, it's FREE!!!!).
Basically, you get to ride around in an open-air trolley through Boerne and visit eight different art galleries. The best part isn't the art (though the art is beautiful and quite fantastic). The best part is that pretty much every single place serves free hors d'oeuvres and FREE WINE. Like, all kinds of wine. 8 stops = lots of free wine! And then there was the cheeses, crackers, cookies, deli meats, fruits, vegetables, truffles, brownie bites - it was all there! We even got to sample some homemade tamales and listen to live music at one place. And by the time we were done, we had eaten enough to not even want to think about dinner.

At our last stop it was getting dark and we spent a while waiting for the trolley. By this time we had sampled plenty of delicious wines and were having a blast taking tons of ridiculous pictures.

We really did have a blast at Second Saturday! There were never more than two other people on the trolley with us (not including the driver and extremely pleasantly friendly guide). The river sparkled and the breeze was delightful. Everything was free and tasty. I even got to talk to an Italian man about ancient and foreign coins for like 10 minutes and even got to hold some! Eeeeee! (What? I haven't told you that I collect coins? I guess I wanted you to think I was cool. Ha.)
