Fredericksburg to Kerrville

Last night, we spent the night at the Hanger Hotel in Fredericksburg.  Beautiful hotel with nice amenities.  Very comfortable room with oversized leather club chairs for lounging.  The theme of the BOQ - Bachelor Officers Quarters was very well carried off.  The doors and walls were all painted in hues of drab army green and the room numbers were stenciled in a pale creamy yellow.  Typical of a military base!




About 11:00 we left for Kerrville.  We had enough of the ranch land, cattle grates, loose livestock, and creek crossings so we decided to for go the route described in the tour booklet.  We arrived in Kerrville, checked into the Y O Ranch and chatted in the lobby for a while, getting our game plan together.







Lunch was great!  We found a local sandwich shop and enjoyed wonderful sandwiches and soup.  The pies were fabulous!


After lunch, we decided to go over to James Avery Craftsman.  Unfortunately, as we made our way to the artisans shop, they were packing up for the day and we were unable to watch them making the beautiful jewelry.  A couple of us made purchases and we watched a film about James Avery and the history of the company, along with a demonstration of how the pieces are made.






Tonight, we enjoyed dinner along the Guadeloupe River.  Tomorrow the plan is to go to the town of Bandera.
