Happy 4th of July…
Our friend Gina was under the weather this morning, so about 10:30 am we headed out for Fredericksburg by ourselves, promising to bring her back supper.
Our first stop after arriving in Fredericksburg was Der Lindenbaum, our favorite German restaurant. We’ve been eating there for a number of years with our family. Our daughter-in-law Linda’s mother was born in Germany, and Linda knows good German food. And she says this is some of the best she’s eaten.
Jan and I both had the Jager Schnitzel, which is a thin breaded pork cutlet in a wine sauce with fresh mushrooms, and comes with German potato salad and red cabbage. And it was delicious!
And we got the same thing to take home to Gina.
And along with the great food, our timing was perfect too. We left the restaurant just in time for the 4th of July parade.
Everybody needs their own tank.
A great looking SS396 Chevelle.
First time I’ve seen a real airplane as a float. Apparently, it’s flyable. They just took the wings off for the parade.
And what’s a Texas parade without horses?
And, as they say in Fredericksburg, TX, “Das ist Alles, Y’all!” ***
After the parade was over we headed back toward Canyon Lake, stopping off at the Walmart just outside of Fredericksburg to get the wire nuts I need to complete Gina’s deck project.
A few miles further out of Fredericksburg, we encountered camels. Why we don’t know. But there’s 6 of them, including a baby.
About 2 miles out of Johnson City, we saw this chrome sculpture of a bull along the side of the road. It’s been here for years, but today we decided to investigate further.
But you’ll have to come back here tomorrow to see what we found out.
How’s that for a cliffhanger?
We got back to Gina’s about 4 pm and dropped off her Jager Schnitzel, and then headed back to the rig.
More tomorrow…
