Thanks for the tour I should have taken on my one trip to the Hill Country...although with only one day, it seems I would have needed another trip anyway, and that Kent Black barbecue plate is calling my name right now...

Travel Rob, spring is my favorite time to visit the Texas Hill Country because the land is in full bloom with all the wildflowers, bees, and birds. Plus the weather is so nice, you'll want to be outside. If you are use to warmer weather, come during July 4th because we treat that holiday like Christmas and go all out with parades and festivals and fireworks. Autumn offers its own seasonal charm and warmth. You really do have to visit mulitple times to experience it all!

I've only been in the Hill Country one day, and that specifically was to hike Enchanted Rock area. Several pals and I did a day trip from a meeting in San Antonio and had a great time there. Definitely time to head back soon. Thanks for the wonderful post, and welcome to TravelGumbo!

In Dickens study room he had shelves - full of books. Some were old and some new. Some titles were unheard of. Many of the books were "Dummies" and Dickens had invented humorous titles for them.

Many of the books were "Dummies" and Dickens had invented humorous titles for them. So in addition to all those classic novels, Dickens also created the famous "Dummies" series. "Microsoft Office for Dummies", "Writing for Dummies" -- you know the series I'm talking about. Thanks for that little tid-bit Garry!

It's clear now why I pursued a career in the sciences, rather than in the arts.

" The men who learn endurance, are they who call the whole world, brother." Charles Dickens As a young man I was told that this was "the best years of my life" and pursued its promise.

Charles Dickens has been a favourite British author of mine since high school. I have fond memories of getting lost reading A Tale of Two Cities and Great Expectations.
