We have been to Waco before but this was our first RV stop over. Waco is located in central Texas by the Brazos River. It has lots to see and is home of Dr Pepper's soft drink. We do not care for this soda but many Americans love it.
We took a free bus tour around the city and hopped off at the Silo area, the location of the Magnolia Bakery which was very popular. The area has lots of space for families to enjoy, and the home of many food trucks and so much more.
This area is called the Magnolia Markets at the Silos, which is a shopping complex that encompasses two city blocks in downtown Waco. It is markd by 2 120' high silos, built in 1950 as part of the Brazo Valley Cotton Oil Company.
There are many places to get a nibble. This stall sold lots of different flavoured popcorn/
There are a variety of food trucks to choose from.
The Mangolia Store is huge and is full of homewares to purchase.
There is also the Magnolia Bakery had a line up to get in. its was very popular.
Ranch Davidian , member of an offshoot group of the Davidian Seventh - Day Adventist Church that made headlines on February 28, 1993, when its Mount Carmel HQ's, Waco, Texas, was raided by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF); four federal agents were killed in an assualt. A lenghty standoff beteen the group and the government agents then followed. It ended on April 19, after some 80 members of the group, including their leader David Koresh, died when the Mount Carmel complex was burnt to the ground following an attempt entrance by Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
We opted to have lunch at a bistro closer to the city.
They also sell AU beer.
They had a huge selection of beers.
It had a full billard room and lots of games that could be played.
Our appertizer was baked sweet and spicy brussel sprouts. They were delicious.
Beverley had a steak salad.
Ross had a fish taco which he says was good but not as good as the taco's at Fish City Grill in San Antonio, TX.
Cheers,
Ross and Beverley
