Fredericksburg Day 3 - The Broken WIndow

Another beautiful morning, cool (well only 85 degrees) and clear. It was the most pleasant time to just sit on the porch, drink a cup of coffee and plan our day. We had some wineries we wanted to see, a few museum's, there was a farmer's market later that day in the town square and a few other places we wanted to trip around.

These were the trees just to the left of where we were staying. I love them. Jimmy says they are mesquite trees. I don't think we have these in California and I really enjoyed them.




I give you a few guesses to try to match our potential plans with this cement terrain. Come on? Make a guess!

Well, this is the Ford dealership in Kerrville, about 25 miles outside of Fredericksburg! On our way out that morning Jimmy's window wouldn't open. In some circumstances this may be bearable, but not in 103 degree Texas heat! We were thinking more about the drive ahead the next day than for today.

So we headed out and found a dealership. The one in Fredericksburg said they had two Ford F-150's that day with the SAME problem so he was out of supplies. So we trucked on down the road to Kerrville. It only took an hour or two and we had some good conversations with the locals.

We got an itch to head out to the next town called Bandera, which means FLAG in Spanish. We explored a little bit, had some lunch and headed back to Fredericksburg. Not exactly what we had planned but a good time just the same!

We even had time for the Pacific War Museum (after dropping an exhausted Maxine back at the ranch), two Texas wineries and the Farmer's Market, the last on with Maxine in tow. This is her by the big ole smoker they brought out for the Farmer's Market event!
