Today in Kerrville....forgot camera!

We had a great day today!! Was very chilly last night but we were cozy. Today dawned bright and sunny. We had a lazy AM here and then headed out to explore the area. We drove to Ingram which is the little tiny town nearest our campground...also on the Guadalupe River...some cute parts to it that we will go back and explore later. A pretty drive along the river. What a clear and beautiful river it is....as they all seem to be around here.



Then we rode back this way and into Kerrville...and explored it a bit. Nice town too....and a little area that we want to go back to. Lots of neat looking restaurants which are on or have decks over looking the river...maybe we will check out one or two of those too!



Then we decided to take a loop road which went to Medina and then to Bandera and then back to Kerrville. The first part of the drive was wonderful!! Very hilly and windy and up and down and through really rough and beautiful land...quite hilly and rocky. With nice rippling clear streams running by the road. Lots of big ranches with iron gates along the way. Medina was cute but very small and not much to it. Stopped and had a late breakfast at a cute restaurant. Hardly anyone there..struck up a conversation with another couple about our age who were also RV'ers and had also come from Rockport. We shared our experiences...and theirs were much like ours. They were motorcyclists though and this trail seemed to cater to motorcyclists...lots of them about. They said we would like Bandera and we did!! I only wish I would have remembered to bring my camera!



Bandera is the cowboy capital of the world...or so they say...and it is cute! Very western looking with neat old sidewalks and buildings with posts and roofs overhanging the raised sidewalks. Some stone sidewalks and lots of buildings made out of stone in this area...lots of places to buy stone also. Neat shops...lots of antique shops...we had a ball there. And there were people riding horses down the street. I am not sure what that was about..but they were tied up in a certain area...and I am not sure if they were for hire or what. It was a gorgeous blue skied, sunny, cool day...just really fun!



We then took the other end of the loop back toward Kerrville. Stopped at this general store on the way back...very, very cute! Lots of history! Here is the website for it.

When we got back to Kerrville...we grocery shopped at a couple of places and then came back here....BBQed and sat out in our chairs looking at the river and the ducks. No deer tonight. Now we are about ready to call it a night and crash and watch TV.

Our friends arrive tomorrow. We are liking it here very much! Talk again soon....Judy
