Fredericksburg

This morning we decided to drive the 22 miles north to Fredericksburg. This is a community with a distinct German flavor and a main street with many stores filled with tourists throughout the year. (This is where we went for Ocktoberfest!) We quickly found a good place to park and began our walk up and down the street, looking for good stores and sales. We found a reasonable place for lunch, buffalo burgers and beer, and later were ready for the sales.

The phone rang with a local area code, and we wondered who was looking for us, hoping all was well at the RV place. It turned out to be the estate people where we had left a bid previously. Apparently, they had made a mistake, and we indeed had gotten one of our two bids. We promised to get back to Kerrville in the afternoon to pay for and pick up our merchandise. What fun!!!! We did our shopping, drove back to Kerrville, returned to the estate sale, and paid for our bid. It had turned out to be a lovely day with temperature in the 70's and not much wind, lots of sun, and, best of all, unexpectedly, we got our bid!

We stopped to get a few groceries at Walmart and returned home. Late in the afternoon, after a wonderful bike ride, we walked to the River Rock Saloon, which is located in the RV park, where I had a beer and HW2 a glass of wine. We met two guys there who had just arrived from Nebraska, and we found out that we had mutual friends. What a small world, and what a perfect end to a lovely day. Happy travels.
