Teeth
chattering, we started off the morning by listening to one of Gary’s hilarious
jokes about three ducks on a pond, papa duck,
mama duck and baby duck who were discussing their instincts to fly south. After a good laugh, we piled into the vans and headed off to the German town, Fredericksburg.
It’s a beautiful
town, with a historical district as its main street. Various buildings along the main street were had a romantic
architecture style, built of limestone for the basic structure and wood for the
detailed front. Our charge for
the morning was to draw one of these buildings as well as draw a section view
across the street. The assignment
was more challenging than it should have been, since our minds focused on the chilly
morning air and the wind nipping at our skin as well as longing to be inside of
the building we were drawing where it was nice and warm.

Our charge
completed, bellies full with warm food, and after mumbling about how this cold
weather was NOT how Texas should be, we headed back to the vans to celebrate
Zach's (belated) birthday.
We were treated to the local ice cream store, but since it was during
the ‘school day’ we also did a laydown of our water colors from enchanted rock.

Back
into the vans we went, for a about a six hour drive which equals of course… NAP
TIME! All of the people in our van
besides the driver and the co-pilot were out like a light for the majority of
the trip. Few of us woke up to
hear Gary talk about the silver seed heads that appeared in the ditch every so
often, called ‘Silver plumes;’
Common name – plastic bag.
Soon after that we roll into Marfa for a night in a national historic
landmark which has actual keys instead of cardkeys.
