Dec 26th, this two-person party train just keeps a'rollin'...
We had lunch with Dave and Karen Spence, old friends from St Louis. Dave was a year ahead of me in residency and I am much indebted to him for teaching so much at the microscope and at the grossing bench. Lunch at Chacho's:
 |
| I had quesadillas too! |
 |
| Dave and Karen |
 |
| Making tortillas, which were fantastic |
On the way to lunch Luke suggested we take a day trip; afterwards we headed out to Fredericksburg, a little German-founded town about 65 miles northwest of SA. We listened to some country music:

| Couldn't agree more. |
 |
| At Java Ranch, a coffee shop |
 |
| Trying on new shirt. |
 |
| Feeling very sartorially inspired by Deadwood. |
A music store:
 |
| Discussing the dobro |
Then off to
Luckenbach, about 10 miles from Fredericksburg:

| 2012: Year of the Top Hat? |
 |
| New hat in shadow |
 |
| Dance hall |
