Two short mileage days in a row for sightseeing LBJ’s home territory. Visited LBJ’s boyhood homesite last evening and the Visitor’s Center with a lot of information about his upbringing and career.
37.5 miles 2368’ beautiful short hilly ride through the Texas hill country to the cute German town of Fredericksburg. A bit of head and cross winds but great cloud cover with no rain. And just like that (!), we are half way done with our journey at over 1500 miles!! 👏 💥 Staying in a lovely Airbnb tonight in downtown.
Dinner tonight with friends Shelley & Chris Pieper who drove in from Kerrville. We raised our 3 kids together during Montessori school days. We enjoyed authentic German food in this haven of German immigrants. As early as the mid-1800s, the Society for the Protection of German Immigrants in Texas set up a safe community for the influx of Prussian immigrants. This town also hosts one of the largest Oktoberfest celebrations in the U.S.
TX have been in drought for many years.
