River Time

Whenever we have the chance to meet up with friends on the road, we do it! It hadn't been long since we said goodbye to Kev and Angie in Quartzsite...but we missed them and we were looking forward to a few days with them in New Braunfels at Landa RV & Campground.

We parked right next to them in a river front spot. The spring-fed Comal River runs right through the park and it's lovely...I've never seen water that clear! And so many birds to listen to...loved it.

Within minutes of arriving, Bella had her swim suit on and was ready to float. She LOVES the water. Just a short walk down from our RV, there was an entry point to jump in. Everyone had fun floating in the water on a hot day.

The next day, we walked around the downtown "crazy days"...which turned out to be not as crazy as we thought it would be. You never know what you'll get in a small town...but it was a gorgeous day and we enjoyed it.

Bella enjoyed seeing the different artists...in particular this potter. The potter told Bella that she had just started to learn pottery when she was "very old"...and we had a talk about how it's never too late to try something new!

After a stop at the coffee shop and the bakery for a special treat, we headed back to the RV's to relax a bit before heading out for Thai food that night.

We went to Sarika's Thai in New Braunfels and it was very tasty. We shared a big hot pot of tom kha, which we LOVE...fresh spring rolls, and pad thai. So good.

We headed out the next morning after a sweet coffee time together. We'll be seeing Kevin and Angie again soon...they are only 45 minutes away from where we are staying for the next couple of months!

How fun is that? I live a few miles south of New Braunfels and my friends and I love driving up there and just hanging out at landa park all the time. LOVE it there. Glad you had a good time.

But I just have to say I'm astounded that the water was even remotely warm enough for swimming, because the comal is always freezing it seems. But then again, I'm a south Texas girl and it has to be in the 90's at least for me to swim, otherwise i freeze my hiney off in the water. ;)

Morgan...apparently the Comal is 72 degrees year round. It's "refreshing". Or so I'm told. I'm not a big swimmer unless it's HOT. I'm with ya on that one!

Glad to see you enjoyed New Braunfels. Landa park is beautiful. Landa RV Park.....well the water is the gorgeous. ;)

The old hardware store with the wooden floors downtown is awesome! That was like a step back in time.

It's nice to hear that you met up with Kev and Ang. We are looking forward to meeting them in person!

Have a fantastic week.
