Dallas, July 28. This holiday is all about
Texas.
We
celebrate the 10th anniversary of our friends' trailer setup in
Gatesville. And we want to explore some areas to narrow down our
potential business environment for the future.
A few days in San
Antonio. Downtown offers a great variety of things to
do.
Learned about the history at The
Alamo
Cruising
the Riverwalk
and shopping at the Rivercenter
is fun.
Drinks and souvenirs at the Buckhorn
Saloon
The
surrounding country offers many sights, too. The little samples
of our visits give by no means a complete picture. There's so much
more to see and do.
...Schlitterbahn.
The
legendary Gruene
Hall stands for great Texas Music.
On
our way back to San Antonio we stopped in Bandera,
the Cowboy Capital of the World.

Off
to the coast to meet our friends from Gatesville. We took the ferry
to get from Aransas
Pass to Port Aransas.

Island...
Strolling
and shopping in Corpus...
...made
us hungry: so we went to the re-opened Roadhouse in Corpus.
The
next day we were crossing the border at Laredo
to shop in Mexico.
Hungry after
a busy day on the way to Austin. We love Outback
Steakhouse food.
No,
this ain't the tourbus of Bruce
