We're in Fredericksburg, Texas

Fredericksburg is a small town of German origin that's about an hour and a half north of San Antionio. It's a nice town too. Those italics are intentional because what we've seen so far in Texas is not so nice. We passed thru Odessa and Midland (home of our not-so-esteemed president) and wound up staying in a town called Big Spring that was beyond description other than to say it looked and felt like a bombed out city of WWII.
We just rented a guesthouse here (called Cowboy Orchard!) for a week so that we can tour San Antonio when we like and still have a place to come back to that's more like a home than a hotel or motel room.
Still have lots of pix to post of the nat'l parks we've been to. Will be back shortly.
PS: I have to say that I was a little skittish about Texas, but so far everyone has been very friendly.

Wow, you two have been busy travelers. We got your postcard from Roswell and I think there was something wrong with the camera that took your family picture. Did the camera see something that we can't see with the naked eye? I am thinking you have found lots of places on your journey that are crowded and overbuilt.

Enjoy your break before you hit the road again.

Love,
Nancy & Mike
