Fredericksburg birthday trip

For my BDAY I wanted to go to Texas wine country - yes, Texas has a wine country!

Fredericksburg is a quaint little town about 1 hour northwest of San Antonio settled by the Germans back in the 1840s. It's a town full of B&Bs, antique shops, German restaurants/beer gardens and wine tasting rooms, as well as one of the area's wineries.

Our rental cottage - 2 bedrooms, a kitchen, living room and 2 bathrooms for $125 night!
Us with Baron Otfried Hans von Meusebach, famous German-Texas pioneer, founder of Frederickburg, TX and initiator of a treaty between German settlers and Comanche indians.


Friday night we went to Wildseed Farms for a chili-pepper and salsa festival. About 40 tasting booths!!

The festival at dusk.
