After my trip to New Mexico, I traveled to my nephew's wedding and then back
home. Once things finally slowed down I realized that I was sick...just a
virus or something, but I was worn out! Pretty sure some of that altitude
sickness in New Mexico was something more. So, after 2 weeks at home
recovering (and attending another wedding), I'm finally on the road
again. Yes!
Yesterday I drove 10 hours to Fredericksburg, Texas (link) Fredericksburg is one of several Texas towns that were established in the mid 1800's under the Society for the Protection of German Immigrants in Texas. I stayed at a small place, the Peach Tree Inn and Suites (link), nothing special, but it was clean and right on my route. I had dinner at The Auslander Restaurant and Biergarten (link) in Fredericksburg, and it was...OK. I ordered the (non-vegan) Bratwurst with mashed potatoes and red cabbage. The potatoes and cabbage were great! The brats were nearly flavorless. Disappointing! I hoped they would be more authentic...or more like the Johnsonville Brauts I remember.
Today I traveled another 3 1/2 hours on to Padre Island where I'm staying for 3 nights. There is just something about the waves and the sea that make me happy! Love it! I had lunch at Snoopy's Pier and dinner at Mikel May's Beachside Bar & Grill...both on the island and both were just OK. So, I'm 0 for 3 for Texas food. Hopefully tomorrow will be better!
