This is also a huge peach and pecan area and they were both in season and delicious! I was surprised to see an area with numerous vineyards, because 100 degree weather for months on end just doesn't seem to be conducive to growing grapes for wine. I guess I was wrong.
I went to the Guadalupe River State Park where the river was so low that all you could do was wade. The people in the above picture had the right idea on this hot day. They are sitting in the river with their cooler and boombox.
Reflections
I had southern chicken fried steak while watching the river roll by. Honest, as I was eating, I looked up and saw a doe and her fawn run across the opposite field.
I drove through a small town where the historical museum had some of their frontier displays right out on main street. It was very interesting. And yes, this cowboy is riding a long-horn steer, which I am told, is no easy feat.
In another small town I stopped at the oldest operating dance hall in Texas. I did a couple of two-steps and boot-scootin'-boogies and hit the road.
