New Braunfels 2019 Set 7

So I'm wandering around in a cold light mist and I've decided to head back but via a different route-- an alley.

As usual, the alley proved to be more interesting.

Wurstfest venues but no crowds because it was too early and the weather was awful. But that would change the next day.

When I'm in an alley there are certain things I always like to photograph.

I still have a long way to go with this.

New Braunfels 2019 Set 6

I'm still in that antique store, dodging a brief rain.

New Braunfels is the kind of place where you can buy a lot of old stuff.

All kinds of old stuff here.

The rain stopped and I started walking again. I was getting some dirty looks, wandering around in the store taking pictures but not buying anything. I was glad to get out!

And I'm a long way from being finished with New Braunfels!

New Braunfels 2019 Set 5

I'm picking up where I left off, in the antique place.

On several occasions I bought my wife antique jewelry from this store.

It's a fairly big place with a lot of stuff. When I was a kid this was a department store: National's.

New Braunfels 2019 Set 4

Walking downtown...

... and seeing the usual sights. I saw "The Blob" and "I Married A Monster From Outer Space" on a double bill there when I was a kid. I thought "I Married A Monster" was scarier than "The Blob".  Let me see, I also saw "The Pit and the Pendulum" there. I liked science fiction and scary stuff. 

It was cold and drizzly. Very gloomy.

Wurstfest was going on so many tourists were in town. Downtown New Braunfels is full of beer joints and antique stores. I ducked into one of them to get dry and warm. While I was in there I photographed their stuff.

I'll continue from this point next time.

New Braunfels Wurstfest Fire

The annual Wurstfest was going on in New Braunfels while I was there, but my cousin just informed me via email that about 1/2 of it burned down this morning (11/16/2019). That is a big event for this town. Later today I will post more of the pics I took there earlier. I never would have imagined something like this happening.
