Finally, after 454 miles of driving yesterday we made it out of the desert into the Texas Hill Country. Unless you have an affinity for endless vistas of nothingness punctuated by the occasional cow, avoid southwest Texas. We drove from El Paso to the town of Junction stopping for gas in places where we felt we might have to shoot our way out and back to the interstate. This morning we drove into the hill country town of Fredericksburg, a lovely town that was settled by German immigrants and has been named one of Texas' prettiest towns.
We spent two or more hours in the WWII Museum of the Pacific, one of the best military museums we have ever visited. We'll visit Admiral Nimitz' boyhood home this afternoon. We're staying in a very nice RV park just off Main Street. We may stay here a couple more days and visit Austin and San Antonio.
We heard about some tornadoes in the Texas panhandle last night but we were much farther south, thank God.
I've posted a few pics from our stroll this morning.
Later.
