Fredericksburg to Luckenbach, Texas


Before the cold front blows into Texas we headed out to Fredericksburg to visit the town and to have lunch at a German restaurant with a couple Larry and Gail met during their travels.

A quaint town with many old limestone buildings and the scattered reminders of a German heritage.


Originally a private residence and general store, built in 1833.  Converted to a hospital in 1938.  It's now a retail kitchen supplies store.  


Many wine tasting shops and upper end furniture and accessories shops line the streets.


We had lunch and a long visit with Mike and Linda.  We parted, leaving  Fredericksburg behind and Luckenbach in our sites.  All I knew of Luckenbach wss related to Willie Nelson's song.

The braids gave it all away.

Luckenbach,  with a population of 3, is a community in an unincorporated area 13 miles from Fredericksburg.

And what a fun place! Just plain fun walking around the grounds.  This is country music Texas style. Maybe 50 people were there milling around. I would love to be there with a capacity crowd.  What a hoot.   I think.




A sweet yard cat.




Jimmy could play anything from Willie to Jimmy Buffett  to Donna Summer.



We sat outside and enjoyed the music while quenching our thirst on soda.  This is a great picture of Larry.


Shannon and me enjoying the music.

This ones just for Bill.


Boy can we kill a day goofing around.  Ain't retirement grand.  Come back again.
