Today was cloudy and a little misty all day. Susan rode with us again. It is great having someone with local knowledge in the group. We learned there are Post Oaks as well as Live Oaks and I got most of the wildflowers identified.

Thanks to Lady Bird Johnson there are wildflowers along all the roadways.
We get such a kick out of the cattle. They are so curious until something spooks them...
We saw a lot of Mexican Black Vultures. It is difficult to see them in this picture, but the site is typical: several vultures in a dead tree.
Riding through Winchester, Tx which is maybe 20 miles from La Grange, we saw painted quilt squares on fences and buildings. Susan explained that Winchester has a quilt show every year and the quilt squares tell people where to go.
Turns out La Grange has a quilt museum! It was closed, but the quilt shop was open.
La Grange has an impressive courthouse and a population of 4,600 people.

There is a great coffee shop here (espresso and fabric...what's not to love?)
but only one motel.
Hoping for a good night's sleep after our delicious Mexican meal.
Today's ride: 75 miles (121 km)
Total: 1,276 miles (2,054 km)
