Texas Hill Country

Wednesday October 28

Headed out late morning and went straight to Jacob's Well, a swimming hole between San Antonio and Austin. On the way passed the adorable town of Luling TX, which has decorated old oil jacks and lined them up along the railroad tracks:

They still move!

And this is their water tower:

Love it!

Jacob's Well was great: the spring water was cool and refreshing, which is just what I needed after driving in midday Texas sun.

I had a whole list of things to do in Texas Hill country, but the only other thing that fit into the late afternoon was a sunset visit to Guadalupe River State Park.

Then, before leaving the San Antonio area I grabbed dinner at El Bucanero, which may have been the best ceviche I've ever had. Who knew I'd have the best food of my trip in Texas?
