The Texas Hill Country is a geographic region located in the Edwards Plateau at the crossroads of West Texas, Central Texas, and South Texas. Given its location, climate, terrain, and vegitation, the Hill Country can be considered the boarder between the American Southwest and Southeast.
At this time of the year Bluebonnets, the native flower of Texas provide a carpet of blooms.
There is plenty of cactus to be seen.
On St Patrick's Day we travelled to Fredericksburg which is just over an hour's drive from San Antonio. It has a very heavy German influence and is a very arty town. Its located close to Luckenbach.
The weather was perfect to sit outside and listen to the many bands who were playing this day.
There are many winebars and pubs and this one serves a wine called 3 blind moose.
Here the Indian protects the bar.
Its a pretty place to walk and we came upon a very old car.
In the evening the town is brightly lit.
There are many leather shops who have beautifully crafted wares.
This is a window of the Leather Bank store.
This is also the home of Admiral Nemitz who signed the documents that finalized WW 11.
Here he is signing such documents.
More to follow.
Cheers,
Beverley and Ross
