A New Year in Texas Hill Country

Hello Welcome To Texas

We had a quiet peaceful New Year's Day here in the Hill Country. We're about ten miles from Bandera and a couple of miles from Tarpley. Bandera is a small but busy town with a lot of good restaurants and places to see. Tarpley on the other hard is real small. They have a Post Office, a Church, one small general store and a part time restaurant. The population is about 75.

We're going to enroll in the physical fitness and water aerobics program here which is held Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. We're hopeful that it'll help us feel better and gain more range of motion. The pool which is indoors is small but it's nice and also available twenty four hours a day.

We decided to take a drive into Bandera and see if there was anything much going on and maybe check out a good place to eat.

We found a very good Mexican restaurant called El Sombrero. The food was real good, the place was nice and clean and the prices were very reasonable. I believe we'll be eating there many more times. There are several more places we have to check out.

Since we're in a somewhat laid back area I believe we'll be posting our journals on a weekly basis. That way we won't be boring everyone.
