If You're Ever in the Texas Hill Country...

I always cap off my visits to the Hill Country of Texas with a homage to Luckenbach. Shiner long necks are always in order when paying your respects here.

It was a little more laid back than usual, yesterday, when I passed through. Including myself, there may have been 8 other quietly reverent folks taking in the essence of this quintessentially Texas, albeit underpopulated, town.

Luckenbach comes to life on the weekend. Adjacent parking lots take up more space than the town itself to accomodate the crowds. But whether you come to see the eclectic visitors or the historic old buildings, Lukenbach is right up there with the Alamo when it comes to defining Texas. And like the Alamo, you can't just go there, tour it, and leave. You have to experience it. It has to be taken in.

So, come to Texas. Take in the Alamo and experience Luckenbach.
