Back at Landa

We are planners. We like to know where we're going and when. Where we are parking for the night...what we're having for supper...where the nearest Starbucks is. You know, the important stuff. :) I know that seems kind of contrary to the traveling "gypsy" lifestyle, but that's just how we roll. We are working on not being so "planny" and should probably enroll ourselves in Technomadia's Serendipity Challenge. It does feel good to be a little footloose and fancy free...and we have actually been known to throw our plans out the window once or twice. This was one such occasion.

After we left Hill Shade, we headed to Austin...and we were going to stay at Lonestar through the weekend. But, our friends were back in New Braunfels and our hearts said..."GO BE WITH YOUR FRIENDS!". We're so glad we listened. :) We packed up, headed south, and pulled into Landa RV Park and surprised Damien and Michelle and Kevin and Angie. Weeeee!

We hooped.

We ate...a lot. Potluck. Out for Mexican. Pancake breakfast. Yum. Eating together is always WAY more fun.

We spent some time in the park meeting some online friends in person.

And we said goodbye "for now". We always know there will be a next time. That's why we love this life so much...see you down the road friends!

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!
