Day 29, April 3: Kerrville, TX

Rest day

Tony finally made it in last night at 10:30 pm. It’s wonderful to have this short interlude together—I’ve been looking forward to it for days. This morning he got the grand tour of the “chuck wagon” and met many of my fellow riders. We explored the nearby town of Fredericksburg with its beautifully restored stone buildings and German-influenced restaurants. We passed through the tiny hamlet of Luckenbach, not much more than a dance hall heavily frequented by motorcyclists.


We headed to Austin, a mistake only because we didn’t appreciate how long it would take us and didn’t have the time to do much once there. On the way back we passed the LBJ Ranch, then closed, beautifully sited on the Pedernales River. Should we ever get back this way, it is definitely worth a visit.

Back in Fredericksburg, we took in a rock revue performed by a resident troupe. The audience was as interesting to watch as the performance.
