GOD BLESS TEXAS

What does one say or do about these horrific events? I do not want to add any more attention to what has happened here other than saying my thoughts and prayers are with those families and their loved ones and to acknowledge the first responders for their hard and unforgiving service to their community. 

GOD BLESS TEXAS 

DON’T MESS WITH TEXAS!





Moving along in our day I spent the morning taking a lovely walk with Candy while Tim spent time with Bill. Tim wanted to see their trailers again and get some additional information on them. They only have three vintage rigs. Two are 1962 Airstreams. One is a Globetrotter the other a Bambi. Their third trailer is a 1947 Curtis Wright! The CW they are in the middle of a restoration on it. 



Oh my goodness has the fire been lit! Yet more inspiration for us. We can’t wait to get back home to get moving on our 1948 Airstream!





Part of the evening was spent doing the tourist thing in the town of Gruene. We made a few quick stops in some stores there and another to Gruene Hall. Gruene Hall was built in 1878 and is Texas’ oldest continually operating and famous dance hall. It’s easier to list who hasn’t performed here. Willie Nelson, George Strait, Lyle Lovett, Little Richard and even Merle just to name a few that have been to the Hall. 



Then we headed back to New Braunfels for the rest of the evening. We drank a few beers, had dinner and listened to a really great band at Krause’s Cafe Biergarten. 



It is a really cool venue ...





The band we listened to was Igor and The Red Elvis’s
Super cool and some really great lyrics to their songs. 
They think they will be in Florida sometime next year. Hope we can see them again! 



Today being our last full day in a Texas was bitter sweet. We’ve had a great time, ate great German food and drank good cold German beer. Spent some quality time with some fabulous people and can’t wait to share  our progress on our vintage trailer with them as we move along. Thanks so much for the Big Texas hospitality and we can’t wait to return!

Finally home! What was supposed to be a seven hour drive became ten. We had a few stops along the way that added a little time.  But it the...
