Breakfast this morning was
delicious – spinach omelets made with farm-fresh eggs and toast with homemade
agarita jelly. There’s really something to be said for the food at these B&Bs.
The cereal I’ve been eating at the complimentary hotel breakfasts just doesn’t power
a bike the same way. On that note, has anyone had Froot Loops recently? I don’t
know what I was thinking obsessing
over them as a kid.
Today’s 60 mile ride from Johnson
City to New Braunfels was another pretty but uneventful one, aside from seeing
a kitten fallen victim to US 281, which broke my heart. Once we finished the
ride, we loaded the bikes and headed for Livingston to officially get back on course
to finish this thing. Now that we’re out of the Texas Hill Country, “it’s all
downhill to the Atlantic Ocean”, or so I’m told.
The drive back to Livingston took
us by San Antonio, so we stopped in town to stroll the River Walk and eat lunch
at the restaurant where my parents first tried tableside guacamole some 15
years ago. My dad actually got his guacamole recipe from this place, but, since
he’s not one to leave well enough alone, his version is better. The margaritas
and food were delicious, particularly the queso, and the setting along the
River Walk was pleasant. It was a good stop.
I’m hoping our next stop is
Buc-EE’s for some of those famous Beaver Nuggets.
