Smack in the heart of the little village are two important places: the Grist Mill, where we enjoyed dinner, and Gruene Hall, where we saw "The Gourds," billed as the oldest Dance Hall in Texas.

A couple of artsy pics from the iPhone before the show started. Turns out I drank a fair amount of Shiner's this trip.
