Day 4, Bilbrey Tour to San Antonio

Activity Date: Monday, November 26, 2018

Comparatively speaking, our last day of the tour was the shortest.

As usual, we started our day with breakfast at the hotel. Our bags were then loaded on the bus, and we climbed aboard for a short drive to downtown Fredericksburg. We were dropped off near the National Museum of the Pacific War. I had visited the museum years ago, so Donna and I opted to simply wander the shops along the Main Street.

It was a very cool morning, and the north wind was quite strong. Even though we had enjoyed breakfast just a couple of hours earlier, we decided to stop in a coffee shop and sample their coffee and pastries. I can't recall what Donna had, but I enjoyed one of their apple strudels. Yum!

Donna in front of  the tree at the Marktplatz across from the courthouse in Fredericksburg. It was rather cold, so the original party girl was bundled up in heavy coat and gloves.

I don't know what this thing is called, but you can find it every Christmas on the Marktplatz in Fredericksburg.

We then visited numerous shops, and we even made a couple of purchases. We encountered many members of our tour group wandering the streets as well, and quite a few of them decided to have an early lunch at one of the many fine restaurants along Main Street. After our breakfast and the coffee and pastries, though, Donna and I decided we would skip lunch altogether. After a while, we headed back to the bus pickup at the Fredericksburg Convention and Visitor Center located near the National Museum of the Pacific War. If you aren't familiar with Fredericksburg and the surrounding area, the Convention and Visitor Center is a great place to visit.

By 12:30 or so, everyone was on the bus and we began the short trip home. We made a brief rest stop in Brady, and then got back on the road. By 3:30, Donna and I had our bags loaded in the car and were on our way home.

It was a good trip overall, and I'll summarize things in the next entry.
