April 22, 2011 - 6th Day of Riding in TX "Hill Country"

We made it up in time to say good-bye to Wally and Dianne, then Bud and Deb and Bill and I headed out to Fredericksburg. 

After picking up brochures, etc. from the Visitor's Center we rode around town looking at the old homes and buildings.  One of the buildings that intrigued me was the Nimitz Steamboat Hotel, which is now a National Museum of the Pacific War.

After touring the area on the Harleys, we parked on Main Street and Bill waited in the Fredericksburg Brewing Company while Bud, Deb and I explored the town on foot.  We spent an hour or so doing that and then headed back to meet Bill.  On the way, Deb noticed three ladies dressed up like bunnies, dining at one of the outdoor eateries.  We stopped by and asked them why they were dressed like bunnies and could we take their picture?  They said they had donned the attire for their favorite charity and happily posed for us.

We had lunch on the patio at Bejas Grill, with a view of Main Street.  Afterwards we stopped by the Fredericksburg Ice Cream Parlor for ice cream.  Needless to say, Bud was a happy camper as he has an addiction for ice cream.

After checking out a few of the shops on Main we decided to head back to the RV Park and start getting ready to pull out the next morning.

Back at the RV Park, Bud and Bill loaded up the bikes while Deb and I uploaded our pictures.  We then had a wonderful dinner, consisting of left-overs and Bud's grilled "Mojo Chicken," along with a nice bottle of wine.  The weather had cooled down enough that we were able to eat outside, so was a pleasant way to end the day.

Thus ended the 6th day of riding in beautiful TX "Hill Country."
