Find the west end of Milam Square to locate the monument to Benjamin Milam. Arrive before sunrise so you can settle in and watch the sky change as the sun rises toward the WSW.

Walk two minutes to Mi Tierra Cafe & Bakery. Since it is open 24/7, you can head straight inside for Tex-Mex or Mex-Mex breakfast as the city wakes up.
