People say that Texas doesn’t have a fall season, but my contention has always been (in South Texas anyway) that we do have a fall but it is the two weeks before Christmas and most people are just too busy to notice it. This year we have not been too busy to notice. When we returned to Guadalupe River State Park this week the fall color was just begging to be noticed.

Guadalupe River State Park has always been a favorite place of ours. Just about 30 minutes from San Antonio, the park is the only developed public access point to the upper Guadalupe River. The river flows wild, rugged and undammed within the park.

| Honey Creek State Natural Area |
Honey Creek
State Natural Area adjoins the park and is open on Saturday mornings at 9 am
for guided tours. The clear, spring fed Honey Creek meanders through the area on its
journey to the Guadalupe River.
Education, research, protection and appreciation of the site are the
primary missions of Honey Creek State Natural Area and that is why access to
the site is limited to guided tours only.
David and I used to be guides at Honey Creek and gave some of those
tours. So we urge you to take a tour in
the upcoming year if you haven’t already.
Appetizer at Dough's
While
staying at the park, we went into San Antonio almost everyday to visit, Christmas
shop and attend a few parties. It was so
great to meet up with the ‘gang’ at Tycoon Flats, eat at Pasano's, Dough and Chuy’s with
friends and visit the San Antonio Botanical Garden. Our Christmas shopping is almost done, the
stockings are hung and it is time for us to head to Odessa to spend the
holidays with family. We will be back
right after New Year’s. There are still
so many friends we haven’t seen yet. But
we will see you next year. We promise! In the meantime, have a Happy Holiday!
Chuy's -- Merry Christmas!
