my girlfriend and i had been dying to go to san antonio for a trader joe's haul (austin will be getting one this fall) - i had spent sooo. much. time. watching videos of shopping trips on youtube and i was itching to hit their beauty aisle + food, duh.
on our way there we took a detour to boerne, tx:
::treats on the way::
we had a cute lunch at the peach tea cafe - tortilla soup with avocado + a shrimp salad + peach tea. i love lunches where we split everything.
conversations about the future + our new apartment + friends.
forever an affinity for restrooms that are quaint and detailed.
I grew up in a city 144 miles away from san antonio, and so going there was my family's idea of "going out of town". and I suppose you technically are, but it all feels too familiar to still deem it as so. we drove down broadway and found an adorable coffee shop called Local Coffee. being there felt nothing like san antonio. it felt unknown. i wonder if there's a name for feeling that way.
there are places in austin that are uncharted and when our feet hit the ground - it feels like it's in a whole other city. i've learned that there are so many places that have a hint of portland in them and by the time i get home, everything just feels like a big mixture of the kind of place i love. just knowing that i can go back there, and feel the same way again is comforting. i am the run-on sentence queen.
we checked out the bike shop next door after coffee - we are in dire need of some new ones.
b&w. yes
handsome.
i love the logo and font for their name. can i just have my own shop after i've settled into my career? yes. okay.
