One of the things we've learned to seek out - State Capitol buildings. Beautiful and free admission!
Here's Austin ... and the trees are blooming.Another thing we seek out - Presidential Libraries and Museums. Wonderful history lessons.
My favorite thing in LBJ's library was this letter from a school boy.
More to look for in Texas...BBQ joints! They are renowned for smoked beef, pork, sausage. Go in and buy right out of the smoker...smells so good in there. (And then you and your clothes smell like that all day long.)
We have had SUCH a good time visiting friends from Scottsdale wh
o relocated to a ranch outside a tiny Texas town. Allen and Mayra have the most incredible collection of animals. These 3 - Paco, Macho and Guapo (which means "handsome" in Spanish) - Mexican long horn cattle. Notice the new hairdo that the photographer gave me?
This little cutie is Clementine, one of 3 burros who live with 3 horses.
And this is the herd of 7 mini African goats that love to g
o for walks. We took them on a long walk around the ranch.Allen lets the chickens out to graze then gets them back in their pen with his special chicken broom...
That's their beautiful house in the background that they built - overlooks their pool and pond and acres of land. Not a neighbor in sight. So peaceful.
