Left early to beat the traffic.
Just been traveling here and there all day until dark.
Staying a nice motel with WiFi, brought my trusty lap top.
Typing on a cellphone is a drag.
No plans for tomorrow, just doing the same.
It is fun just to get lost for awhile.
Texas has some great FM roads.
Boy, did I need this trip.

FM means farm to market, yeah great place to get lost in.
Found some great bbq today, the only thing I am really looking for.

(16,245 posts)Hope to do some of that, but mostly I'm going to reconnect with a certain someone, hopefully.
But I plan to eat some REAL barbeque, not that North Carolina crap they call barbeque.

(18,705 posts)I have been looking at the stars tonight.
Living in the city one forgets about the night sky.
Also the quiet.
I am staying at a little motel, really surprise with the WiFi.
The hill country is the best.
I am home here.
My people who settled in Texas all moved to the hill country.
It is in the blood.

(36,827 posts)I like the craft beer in Fredericksburg. We stayed at a B&B in Comfort that was quite a nice experience. Fredericksburg is a great place to spend Octoberfest and on New Years Eve they have a hangar dance at the Fredericksburg airport complete with big band music where the locals dress up in 40's period dress. We have gone twice. There's also a hotel at that airport that is done up with a WWII in the Pacific theme. There's also a nice diner at the airport that overlooks the runway and ramp area. The Nimitz museum in town is quite nice.

Many of the small towns in the hill country have festivals at various times of the year which are great to check out.
