I was driving through Castroville, Texas around sunset and needed to stretch my legs. I found one of the tallest structures in the town at the St. Louis Catholic Church . It is a historic place, so I took the opportunity to take a few photos. Enjoy!

Octoberfest
So I stumbled into this place tonight. Beethoven Maennerchor was having a huge Octoberfest in San Antonio tonight. There was food, beer, music, crowds of people, and the Chicken Dance. What more do you need in life?
Buc-ee’s
Anytime I drive towards New Braunfels, I try to stop in at Buc-ee’s for a pit stop. They have it all. Today I got trail mix, beef jerky, BBQ Brisket sandwich, and Dr. Pepper Icee. The most healthy combination of snacks. 🙂
Models
This afternoon, I am back at the Georgetown Public Library to explore some more and to kill some time before going for a long walk. I found a collection of models to photograph. According to the placard, “John M. Barcus, a former Georgetown resident who died in 1976 at age 85, built these models between 1969 and 1973. He donated them to the Georgetown Public Library in 1973 when he moved to San Benito to live with his daughter.” I hope you like them.
Jacob’s Well
It was a nice day for a drive today, so I went to check out Jacob’s Well , near Wimberly. From the parking area, it is a short walk to the artesian spring. The opening to the swimming hole is only about 12 feet, so it is not a very large place to swim. It is currently closed to swimming, but there were a few people breaking the rules, and a handful of scuba divers descending into the spring. The water was very clear and inviting.
Pecan Street Festival
So the Pecan Street Festival is happening this weekend on Sixth Street. As you can tell from the pictures, it was an overcast and cool day with a few sprinkles scattered in for fun. Booths, bands, food, drink, people and their pets made for an interesting day.
Wizard of Oz
By far, my favorite game at Pinballz Arcade was the Wizard of Oz Coin Pusher Game . As you can see in the pictures, you shoot coins into the game with the hopes of pushing prizes off the edge. The most valuable prize you can obtain are the Wizard of Oz cards. I told the Wicked Witch “I’ll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too!” I did get her (along with several other cards). This game is so addicting!
Pinballz
Pinballz Arcade is not lying when they say they have pinball machines. There are a ton of them to play, and if you feel the need, you can purchase one for your home. Here are some pictures of my favorites they had in the arcade today.
MetroRail
I went downtown after work today to attend an event. The event was totally boring, but I did take some pictures of the train .
Seaholm Power Plant
I went for a long walk around Town Lake at sunset this evening and decided to take my camera along with me. This resulted in a bunch of photos of Seaholm under construction. It will be interesting to see the final product. Yes, Austin is growing like crazy.
