To Fentress, TX

Well, for starters, today was 74 miles of headwinds -the first 45 miles was more roller coaster hills. Now I love those hills but by the 3rd day I was darn tired of them. Then all of a sudden we turned and there was flat roads and fields where you could see off in the distance. It was amazing - just a turn in the road. Very pretty but still those headwinds!! The Texas wildflowers are finally coming out. There's been a delay because of the freeze and drought... but if you could see the fields that had them -absolutely beautiful. Pinks, blues, purples, yellows, rusts, reds - what a wonderful sight. With the headwinds coming at us I just kept looking at the flowers - trying not to think that I could only go 8-9 miles an hour...It was tough for everyone. We all dragged in.

I forgot to tell you all that we took the staff out to dinner in Kerrville. We took them to Margaritas which is like Chevys. It was a lot of fun and we told them it was Dawn's birthday and they did like they do at Chevy's. She was a good sport as she was surprised when they clapped a sombrero on her head and started singing....

I didn't get to the BBQ in Lockhart because it was actually at 60 miles and we only skirted the town. I have no idea where the place was and I was too tired to care at that point but we did pass the courthouse - check it out. A little elaborate don't you think? They say it took only 8 months to build it - a little hard to believe....

I'm tired to nite so this is it... We're on our way to La Grange tomorrow. I understand it has a lot of history...
