Clock on the square

Traveled from Livingston to Waco
A cloudy cool day for traveling but not all that bad. We pulled out around 10:30 and took the back roads all the way to Waco. We stopped at this neat little town (Centerville), had lunch (a salad with left over steak), took a walk and just enjoyed a hour long break. We rolled in around 3:00 and were parked and set up by 3:30. another good travel day 190 miles.

We had to change camp sites today and as we all know it takes the same about of work weather you travel 200 miles or hundred feet. After settling in to our new spot and getting everything out we headed to Waco to check it out and stop at the visitors center. They was an old cemetery dating to the early 1700's. Most of the old part is void of markers because they just used wooden crosses to mark grave sites. They were a few names cut into rocks from the area but very few were legible. And when they excavated for a new building they found more remains thought to be graves of the poor, black and Indians. And that was it for today.

And our site for the week, nice!!

The Take Away patio at
Magnolia Table
|
Up early and off to the much anticipated Magnolia Table. The line was long, over an hour wait time. We went 
around to the Take Away section and got two coffees and a piece of quiche and all that for just $18.00. Next we headed into down town Waco. We walked around and found the Spice Village Shops, which was some 20,000 square feet of "crafts, clothing, collectibles" it was OK but a lot of Baylor University stuff and very pricey. We then walked three or four blocks looking for a restaurant getting hungrier all the time. We checked the tourist map and found the lunch trucks location and decided to ride the free trolley to get there. When it stopped it was right beside the Spice Market. Go figure. These places are located beside Baylor U and there were just kids everywhere hundreds of them maybe more. We ended up having burgers at Billy Bob's Burger Joint not quite what we were looking for. We still had to walk 4 or 5 blocks back to the truck. Then a stop at the grocery store and back home. A bit of a disappointment but will try again tomorrow.

Up early again and off to Magnolia Bakery and Magnolia Market. The line for the Bakery was long so we just looked as we walked by and headed to the market. The market was a place to behold just about anything Chip and Joanne that you could imagine. The place was packed but orderly and we made our way around and found a few thing to purchase. Things as you would guess are VERY pricey. We had lunch there from the food trucks parked in the Market area and we were not disappointed it was very good. We spent the rest of the afternoon checking out several other antique shops and wrapped the day up with a tour of the Dr. Pepper Museum. A wonderful day. Back home BBQ ribs for dinner(have been cooking all day in the crock pot).
Magnolia Market. The place was great.
Another shop we stopped at. The Dr. Pepper museum!
