Tour of Bastrop, TX

After visiting with Liza and Arnold, we met up with Mark and Sue, whom had also gone to visit family members living here in Austin.  We decided to take a ride to Bastrop which is about 8 miles away.  We found Bastrop to be very historic.   This is the River Walk Area on the Colorado River.

They have very old buildings, farm equipment and other antiques just laying around.
