Touring Cen-Tex

Didn't do too much yesterday.  Headed south and Mark and Jen took me on a tour of their Campus of Texas State University.  This is a view of Bobcat Stadium on the campus, site, I am told, of some filming of " Friday Night Lights", and one of My favorite sports movies, "Unnecessary Roughness".  It is a beautiful campus and is determined to become a significant University in the country as well as  the state of Texas.  Thus the name change a few years ago from Southwest Texas State University.  Seems to be a tough task ahead with UT so close; but why not ?

 After leaving San Marcos to Gruene,Texas.  They credit themselves with being located just a short distance north of New Braunfels, and slightly behind the times.  Just a gathering for tourists with the shops they have; but it is home to Gruene Hall, the oldest dance hall in Texas.  Walls have seen a lot of "Two-Steppin' " I suspect in its days.  Also has the Gristmill Restaurant(Left) that we ate at.  It is an old mill that overlooks the river.  We didn't get much time to look at the shops , as was a little late when we got there.  But, all in all, a fun day. 

More to come
