Stop for a lunch break in Waco, Texas had a hankering for some Beef!
Stopped at a place called Homestead Heritage Village which is touted as a working farm with Craftsman and Arts and Crafts. It sort of had that kool-aid feel about it but they did do some nice woodworking building beautiful pieces of furniture with only hand tools. The goats were cute too!
Hey! Look who's steering!
The Waco Suspension Bridge Built in 1870 is still used as a pedestrian crossing over the Brazos River
Austin, Texas is next.
Visit the Elisabet Ney Museum. National Historic Site and Studio of the famed German sculptress who immigrated to Texas in the 1870's. Her works stand in European Palaces, US Capitols and the Smithsonian.
Our "Hike a Day" is in the Zilker Botanical Gardens which contains a phenomenal Japanese Garden with bridges and stone paths across numerous koi ponds.
No evening in Austin is complete without a trip to the Ann Richards Congress Avenue Bridge - Home to 1.5 million Mexican free-tailed bats. They exit in mass from under the bridge just after sunset from March thru October.
