Last night the weather forecast was for potentially 7 inches of rain and a flash flood watch. We battened down the hatches and hunkered down. I woke up several times to check the radar. We woke up to no rain. North of Austin got about 9 inches of rain. Dodged that bullet.
This morning Edgar had a massage in Austin close to the Botanical Garden. I walked over and toured the gardens. Entrance fee was $3.00 - what a bargain! Austinites and Senior Citizens wax $1.00. It's a small garden, only 30 acres, but the Japanese Garden was fabulous! It was designed and built by a volunteer. He started it when he was in his sixties and did most of the labor. I spent most of the time there.
We got back to the campground around 11:00 AM and decided to pack up and head West. The weather was crappy. We drove through the Texas Wine Country. No doubt we saw about 50 wineries on Highway 290. We stopped in Johnson City for lunch, where it is LBJ Country. We passed his Ranch and museum. It was soggy weather, we didn't stop. In Fredericksburg, we stopped and pick up some supplies. Fredericksburg is a quaint German-influenced town.
Now we are at South Llana River State Park in Junction, TX. Sun is out, campground is very nice and quiet. Time for a walk to the river.
