Further changes of plan - Off to the Cowboy Capital!

Unfortunately our plans to visit Palestine, Texas, have changed. Our friend Jim has his annual meet at the Speedway for the annual car parts flea market; otherwise known as PATE.

They camp out; swap stories and look at all things car and classic car related.  So the decision was, do we move onto our next planned destination of Burleson and Fort Worth or do we use the 2 days to visit somewhere else?

After a few chats we decided to head to Bandera, Texas. The Cowboy Capital of Texas.
Check out what it's all about at the link here. We have picked a quirky cabin. Very Texas; very Cowboy; very basic. However it looks fun and we love quirky. So this is where we will spend our two days, immersing ourselves in all things Cowboy.

More Sad news! A change of direction

We had an e-mail today to say that our Bed and Breakfast in Memphis had been cancelled but there was no explanation. I sent an e-mail asking why it was cancelled, then felt awful when the lady who runs it along with her Husband, replied saying her Husband had died that morning. What can you say, but send your condolences.

Now our Memphis accommodation was cancelled, we had to make another booking. Again we did not want a high rise city hotel. We looked for bed and breakfast hotels within a certain radius, constantly coming up with chain hotels. Then we struck lucky, we found some beautiful old towns, 20 minutes south of Memphis/Gracelands, which is about the same distance as before.

One we fell in love with was an old house in a town called Hernando, in Mississippi.

Another state to add to my list. I think I may have hit 20 now! The reviews were great and we have been in touch with people who have stayed there and also visited Graceland and Beale St Memphis, which are the only places we really want to see. Having read about these lovely old towns in Mississippi we are quite keen to have a look around those too. Lots to fit in!
