Hill Country Visit

We left relatively early on Thursday morning (July 30th) so that we could get to Enchanted Rock and start climbing before it got TOO hot.  We got there around 10:30am, and even though it was warm, the air felt good and it really was a good morning for our climb.  Up at the top, we found a nice tree to sit under, and enjoyed the breeze and some peaches from some peach trees that were up there!  What a nice surprise that was!!  Then we climbed around on the rocks a little bit and by the time we headed down, the sun was bearing down pretty good, and it was hot!

We came across this nice lizard on one of the rocks.

So, after Enchanted Rock, we drove back to Fredericksburg and had a nice lunch under the umbrellas at Altforf Bier Garten.  From there, we drove to the main plaza in Fredericksburg, where Guillermo decided to sit under a tree and read book samples on Fernando's Kindle.   Fernando, Eva and I checked out the Vereins Kirche, then walked around a little bit on Fredericksburg's main street.  We strolled through a few stores and picked up some delicious ice cream cones before meeting back up again with Guillermo.

Then we drove to the Living History Farm in Stonewall, TX, barely getting there before they closed.  But we were able to see inside the house.  It was a very hot day, and I think we were all pretty much ready to get back in the car after walking the trail back to the parking lot.

                    

So, we get back in the car, looking forward to our next stop - Luckenbach, TX, where we were going to stop for a beer and hopefully listen to some guitar playing.  We were in luck!  So, we got our drinks, and went out to the picnic tables to listen to the lone guitar player.  It was nice just sitting there, enjoying our drinks and the music.   

  That evening, we went out to dinner at Los Agaves Mexican Restaurant, capping off a wonderful day!
