Tomorrow is the last day of National Library Week, and the best way to observe the occasion is by paying a visit. If you’re overdue for a trip to one of San Antonio’s libraries, find a branch near you and see what it offers beyond books.
Travel
A new experience from Adventures by Train is offering travelers the chance to tour “around the world by train.” The 100-day trip is completely flight-free, instead crossing the globe via train and “luxury sea voyages.” The trip only has 12 spots available, so we’re starting small (and locally) with Amtrak.
Holiday
Chag sameach. Passover (or Pesach) begins at sundown this Saturday, April 12, and goes through Sunday, April 20. You can find iconic Passover desserts — including caramel matzo crunch, flourless chocolate cake, and coconut macaroons — at our local Susie Cakes.
State
