A Little Tour Around The Hill Country

Today we took our new friends, Dick and Loretta Pyke on a little tour of Bandera and some of the Texas Hill Country.

We went into Bandera and let the girls do a little shopping and have lunch. We are lunch at OST, the Old Spannish Trail restaurant which has been in business since 1921. They had a real good MexTex lunch buffet today and as always the food was super. You can always find a lot of the "locals" there having lunch or supper. Dick and Loretta each ordered a hamburger and they couldn't get over how good and how big they were.

After looking around Bandera we drove to Camp Verde which was the original place where the Army experimented with using Camels in the Texas Hill Country and finally in the Big Bend area. The experiment didn't work too well so the Army finally gave up on it.

As always I took a couple of pictures which I hope you will enjoy.
