Fredericksburg

Saturday March 21, 2015

It was another rainy trip but not as much fog as yesterday.  We arrived in 4 hours and 155 miles to the Hill Country RV park.  as with most parks in these areas it is gravel with old bathrooms.  After setting up we headed to the state park.  Because of the all of the rain they had closed the trails!  So we headed to our favorite grocery store HEB!  then to downtown.





Although it was misting the town was really busy with tourists, shopping and eating. Fredericksburg allows drinking on the sidewalks so lots of places to get beer and wine.  The street is lined with stores, restaurants and a few museums.

Being a German town we had to have German food!

the beer was very cold and very good, we had the "spring" rolls too, again very good

our dinners were OK, nothing to write home about.  Would not recommend this place, as it did now "Wow" us.


After stuffing our faces we had to walk the town again.  It really is a cute town.

Sunday March 22:  back to the state park for a hike


not planning on going to the top of the hill


we took about a 3.5 mile hike around the hill

tomorrow we are heading about 35 miles to Blanco State Park for a few days.  weather is suppose to get warm, might be able to put shorts on! and we are done with the rain for a few days.

Monday March 23:  we did not have to leave the park until noon so we went hiking at

this tunnel is home to bats from April to Oct.

we thought we could see some bats in the tunnel, but...  it was a nice place to hike and wait for the fog to burn off.
