Flying Horse - Bandera Texas
A Great Place in the Hill Country

Ask anyone in the Hill Country where to find the Cowboy Capital of the World and they will say Bandera Texas. It’s a small town with a beautiful nineteenth century courthouse and a cast of ‘The Bronco Buster’ by Remington in the middle of town. A few blocks South is the Flying Horse. At least that’s what it looks like to me.

There are plenty of things to do and see in town. Small shops, restaurants and bars are scattered along Main Street. Just remember this is ranching country so the barbecue is excellent and is always beef. Vegetarians won’t starve there is plenty variety for every taste.

Not All Cowboys Ride Horses

The Flying HorseThe hill country in is a great place to ride so Bandera is filled with motorcycles on the weekends.The annual bike rally each spring attracts thousands of riders. The municipal park North of town turns in a huge campground for the better part of a week. There are plenty of beautiful machines and noise but everyone is always friendly.

Interesting Times

Much has changed in America since I was a kid in the mid twentieth century. My life as a free-range child felt absolutely carefree. The 4th of July was about patriotism, parades and picnics. Now I know the world is a more complicated place where consequences intrude on childhood. Still those early memories shape the core of my understanding of who we are as a nation.

A century ago my family came to the new world in the aftermath of war in Europe. They made a choice to give up lives in the old world not knowing what may come. That decision gave me my place as an American. Thank You.

Happy Birthday USA
