🧡🌞Día de los Muertos at @torotorohouston always ex 🧡🌞Día de los Muertos at @torotorohouston always exceeds expectations, and this year’s sun-inspired menu might be my favorite yet. 
From now through November 3, they are serving incredible themed dishes and cocktails, and a beautiful five-course tasting experience curated by @chefrichardsandoval 
Here is what we tried:
Luz de Mar Tiradito: Fresh, bright, and perfectly balanced.
Fuego del Sol Short Rib: Incredibly tender, served with a charred poblano cheese enchilada.
Amanecer Pumpkin Brûlée: Mind-blowing and the perfect finale.
The drink menu is just as intentional. The Elote Mezcalita brings savory, and smoky notes, while the Sol offers a crisp mix of sparkling wine, marigold, and mango. The unexpected star was the Punch Calavera, a zero-proof blend of hibiscus, cinnamon tea, and guava that everyone at the table loved.

Junk Gypsy Round Top, Texas

Wander Inn in Round Top, Texas

I’ve been enjoying wandering around Texas and I finally had a chance to check out Wander Inn in Round Top, Texas. I wandered into their Wanderlust Room, and fell in love with all the decor. For instance, every corner was picture perfect! Click here for a video tour.

Wander Inn is owned by the owners of Junk Gypsy, an antique store. If had a chance to stop by Junk Gypsy, as it’s located at the entrance of the Inn. They have some amazing boots, decor, and apparel. Similarly, did you know they also had a show on HGTV?

Fun Fact: Wander Inn is located in Round Top which is home to 90 people. Moreover, it is located under two hours away from Houston, Austin & San Antonio and is known for their Round Top Antiques Fair. 

For instance, if you are in town for the Antiques Fair then the Wander Inn is the perfect place to stay, keep reading for my review.

Thank you for hosting me Wander Inn, and as always all options are my own.

About Wander Inn

Wander Inn Has 3 houses, The Star House (4 rooms), The Crown House (4 rooms) and the Gypsy Farmhouse (3 rooms). 

Above all, make sure you hang out by the fire and do some stargazing. In addition, it was nice to wake up and open up my french doors to have some coffee on my porch.

Did I mention there are fresh homemade biscuits delivered to your door at 9am every morning?

I stayed in the Wanderlust Room, pictured here. It has a queen sized bed, with a sitting area. Similarly, I especially loved the French doors opening up to the porch and the jetted tub and the separate shower.

Overall, I had everything I needed in my room. For some additional space, I enjoyed hanging out in the common living area at The Star House.

It contains an American flag that flew over the State Fair of Texas in 1972, and a vintage “STAR MOTEL” sign which has been used as the backdrop for numerous photoshoots including Miranda Lambert & Country Living magazine.
