The Strange and "Historic" Town of Bastrop, Texas

Jason and I attending a wedding this weekend as photographer and videographer for our friends Karl and Marlise. On our way back to Austin on Sunday, we stopped in the "historic" town of Bastrop. http://www.cityofbastrop.org/
We never found out why it was so "historic" because everything was closed. We did get to walk around and see some of the things that make it so strange. The town seemed obsessed with old Coke-Cola signs and products. (You know you are in the South when there is a Waffle House on the corner and you can't find a Pepsi product, just sweet tea and "coke".) Nothing wrong with that, we just found it amusing. They also seemed to like old cars, gas pumps, and renting out their children!?! Needless to say, we didn't stay very long...


Jason at the very "eccentric" coffee shop I "drag" him into. Afterall, it was a chilly weekend in Texas. (If you can believe it!) In the 30's with freezing rain. We had to stop for hot chocolate!

NICE! Do you think the children are expensive? Do they have boyfriends or husbands for rent too? Ha ha Hope you are good, -k-
