Last night at the John T Floores Store and historic music hall, just outside San Antonio, two Kiwis and six Texans went to party and hear Ray Wylie Hubbard and son sing.
Russ inside the venue warming up and checking out the stories. This venue has seen the likes of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Jerry Lee Lewis, Patsy Cline, Bob Dylan and Waylon Jennings! A mini Grande Ole Opri.
The star attraction in action – us hanging out by the stage! Country style mosh pit for the young and not so young!!
We arrived back at the hotel around midnight – all ready for bed!
This morning we breakfasted and four of the Texans headed for home, Tona and Chuck, Russ and Sue hit the road for FredricksBurg, a German inspired town, to meet Kelly and Eric (and kids) for our next adventure.
All the towns are Christmas excited in December.
Nativity scene in the park.
Russ, Eric and James (and decorated tree in background)
Ice skating rink set up for the winter – even though it was definitely a shorts day.
James driving the gingerbread train!
Russell disguised as a Christmas tree.
And back into town to have lunch at the Fredricksburg brewery.
The beer runs and even in the heart of Texas, the kiwi flag is flying!
Lunch was another ‘large’ affair before the proposed hike on enchanted rock!
St Mary’s gothic German style church just off Main Street.
And the highly decorated hat store!
Heading out to the trek, we found that the track for today had been closed, due to excessive numbers on the Rock and a star gazing annual concert tonight! Not the best day to free wheel for this hike.
Hike abandoned, we headed to our condo for the evening, the opposite direction, in Texas hill country. Dinner in and probably a quiet evening with the family.
A hike is certainly on the agenda for the morning, we definitely need to walk off some of these huge meals we have been devouring.
I’ll leave you with this thought for the day….
Not really selling off our retired loved ones!
All who wander are not Lost girls
