Historic Bridge Walk

Earlier this week while on our morning walk, Sandy and I ran into a couple that stopped to tell us they were looking for this historic walking bridge. We hadn't heard of it so weren't any help but after getting home, I Googled it. Patrick and I did a dry run yesterday to see if it was within walking distance. Today, Sandy and I found it on foot.




The bridge goes over the Guadalupe River. In the last picture, the white "dots" in the distance are RVs parked under the overpass. This year there are more RVs than previous years.
On our walk back home, I took a couple pictures of something else "historic". A new house being built next to one that is on the National Historic Registry.

We toured this one last year during a tour of several other older houses; some are still in their original state and some were refurbished and are occupied by families. This one was left in its natural state. I don't remember the story behind the Lindheimer's but it had to do with some newspaper printing business and there are signs on different side streets letting people know how to find this place.


Our walk was only a mile longer than our regular walk and our legs and joints were letting us know about it by the time we got home.
