2005 Bandera, Texas

Life is Great!

We are in Bandara, (Hill Country, Texas and 25'c. Our favorite town in Texas. It is 400 m (1200') high and a population of about 1000.


After returning to Winnipeg after 33 hours plus trip from Johannesburg via Atlanta, USA (don't do it) on Oct 13. We left the end of Oct for points south. Seven days driving we arrived in Zapata, Texas on the Falcon Dam Lake. We stayed at Sunset Villa on part of the Rio Grande. Hot as Hell! Up to 32' everyday and cooled off to 28'c at night. One week of this heat was enough so we went back north to our favorite Texas town in the “Hill Country” and 42 miles west of San Antonio. Lovely place! Main street – like Corydon Ave in Winnipeg- has coffee shops, bars, boutiques, restaurants except here they have cowboy shops. We wish to stay for a while (until in starts to get too cold) Today was a Veteran's Day parade with bands, lots of horses and old military vehicles. Main Street is only 1 block from us.
