Bandera TX

Made it to John's place. It's very pretty here with lots of hills and horses and bushy shrubby trees. I'm so glad to be moving on towards Arizona. We've never been in this part of Texas and being in New places always excites me. It's like a breath of fresh air! More to come..

We spent about 11 days here. It got boring at times but I got a lot of me time as Jerry was out chit chatting with his brother quite a bit. Karina cooked a wonderful prime rib dinner for us complete with sweet potatoe pie (I've had it twice now - it's a Texas thing - but I'm not a big fan. I like pumpkin pie better). We watched a season of Yellowstone with them. We went to the German town of Fredericksburg and had lunch at Auslander (which means "abroad"). The food was good (I had jaegerschnitzel) but the town served like a big tourist area with nothing but shopping. We also went for lunch in Utopia at the Lost Maples Cafe. We had watched a golf movie that John and Karina told us about-Seven Days in Utopia-which was filmed there so it was neat to see the town and cafe. The food was average. The town of bandera was cute and we got pizza and coffee there (both good) and did a little window shopping. At Texas salt company we bought some smoked salt and paprika and some dipping spices for bread. The town North of John was Kerrville which seemed very nice. It has the HEB grocery stores we liked and a wall mart and lots of other stuff. John's is about an hour from San Antonio also making it an interesting place.Leggi altro
