Lady Bird Park to Luckenbach
March 20, 2008
After relaxing yesterday at the Rest Area on route 101 we decided to do some chores and ended up at Lady Bird Park. We did the Vista Loop, about a mile, for our daily constitutional and saw some pretty butterflies. One was big and bright yellow and black. The other was also big and black with bright blue, the Polevine Swallowtail. We enjoyed brunch under one of the large live oaks looking down over the dam. On our way in we had seen a small plane land and while walking we saw one take off. The park offers walks, watching and a great place to relax.
Luckenbach was our next stop where Danny Terry and John were playing their guitars and singing. It was a beautiful day and soon the pickers moved outside. Walt Perryman arrived introduced us to Summer, his nurse. Walt graced everyone with a few true stories. Sally and Merrill arrived and we enjoyed dinner at the Luckenbach Feed Lot. Their basket of potatoes is legendary. They put the potato on a small rod that spins it around while a blade cuts a large spiral of raw potato that is then pu into the hot oil and fried. Yum. We tried their BBQ sandwich; it was tender and spicy. The jalapeno poppers were filled with cheese and nice and hot-spicy hot.
Kathy greeting a few people she recognized from our trips to Luckenbach, we chatted with Sally and Merrill, listened to music and true stories, watched the chickens and roosters roost in the huge live oak and the moon rose over Luckenbach. We followed Walt to his little ranch and parked under the spinning windmill. West Wing episodes went on unti well after midnight when we felt like it was still day with the moon shadows on the ground. But we crawled into bed.
