Fredericksburg (TX) is a German-settled town in Texas Hill Country. I'm sure most folks would consider it a tourist town, because their Main Street is just so darn cute. Lots of shops, restaurants, wine tasting rooms, etc. After lounging in a bit this morning, when we did venture out, the first stop was at the local Visitors Center. If you read all the brochures, booklets, and magazines, you wouldn't have time to go to any of the places advertised.
We walked around Main Street a bit. We spent quite a bit of time in a store that had OluKai shoes - made in Hawaii, where they understand wide feet. We self-served it and I tried on a bunch of different shoes... one maybe. I had ordered some online last year, but sent them back because they didn't work for me. Being able to see a bunch of their styles in person was helpful.
From there, it was off to lunch at Pasta Bella, an Italian restaurant that reminds us of something out of NYC. The food was outstanding. Then, more wandering the main drag.
We were in this 5 & Dime store last year - a fun place for a walk through. Plenty of "Hey, do you remember these?" moments...
We went into some of the shops, even picked up a couple things. The sign in front of this store made me chuckle...
After a stop at the HEB, it was back to the coach. A hot day here; the a/c feels good. The local TV stations are out of Austin, and this morning they were talking about how hot it has been: breaking record high temperatures on 11 days this September. So far. Expecting another record-breaker today.
The tentative plan is for a road trip tomorrow.
