Keep Looking Up

Look up! Hi sparrows!

Since I’ve been vacationing I haven’t forgotten to look up. Since we’re in a house over a garage, it’s easy to look up and see lots of cute sparrows.

This is just one of the many great ceilings we saw.

In the town, I discovered that quaint tourist spots are great for up-looking. There is a cool ceiling everywhere you turn, it seems.


Lovely gas lights.

And we’ve seen more gas light fixtures than I’ve ever seen in a short span before. The restaurant we ate at last night (Navajo Grill, with wonderful food that was too expensive for Lee, so he bought a burger afterwards), had lovely gas light fixtures, too.


Ceiling in the fancy men’s store. And great light fixture!

Every time I come to Fredericksburg it becomes a little less kitschy and a bit more aimed at the wealthy. We went to a men’s accessories and doo-dads store that certainly was not aimed at regular folks. But, it was beautiful and had a great staircase.


Ceiling in the Casa Santa Fe, where we are staying.

We intend to have fun today looking at Mexican pottery, and maybe finding a winery or two. Yesterday we just had an actual day of REST to celebrate the solstice. Ahh.

PS: I had a bit of trouble editing this, so the captions aren’t actually with the pictures. But I think you can figure it out.
