Schulenburg, TX

Thu (10-22-09): Traveled to the small town of Schulenburg, TX today and are spending 3 nights here at the Schulenburg RV Park. Nice sunny warm day (after last nights down pour) to travel. After our usual Happy Hour, we all went and ate dinner at the Sengelmann Restaurant and was treated to free music till 9:00 p.m. by Mr. Honky Tonk Piano man, Earl Poole Ball and Jodi Adair on guitar. What a fun time we had and we knew most of the songs that they played and sung. Our dinner of Texas Gulf Shrimp was exceptional and the Whiskey Punch was different, but very good. It had the taste of Apple butter with the Allspice in it.


Fri (10-23-09): Today, Pete and Martha prepared a pancake and sausage breakfast for the group. We toured the Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner, TX in the afternoon. They make Shiner Bock beer and other flavors like Shiner Blonde, which I liked the best. We also toured the Saints Cyril & Methodius Catholic Church in Shiner. There are some beautiful painted churches in this area. See tomorrow for painted church pictures.
