The Hill Country isn't the only pretty area in Texas. This photo was taken February 2003 near La Grange, which is on the way to Houston. It was a beautiful day, nice and sunny (unlike other parts of the U.S. where I am sure there was still snow on the ground). If you look behind the dogs, you will notice the Colorado River. This photo was taken at Monument Hill and the Kreische Brewery State Historic Site. This place is an historic site as some heroes from the Texas Revolution are buried here, and it's the site of the first brewery in Texas. Of cource, La Grange is also infamous as the home to the Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (the Chicken Ranch).
