Fredericksburg, Texas

I had a nice drive through Texas hill country today, including some good rain. Fredericksburg was founded in 1846 by German immigrants and there is evidence all around the city of that continued legacy. I am standing in front of the Vereines-Kirche one of the original pioneer buildings now on the historic register of buildings. This town of just over 10,000 is the birthplace of Admiral Chester Nimitz. Tomorrow I will visit the acclaimed National Museum of the Pacfic.
