An old Opera building ( 1916 ).

It took about an hour, then we headed north and visited Garner State Park. (29.59511, 99.71367). The park was empty but for a few, but you could tell that in the summer the place was ridiculously busy. The second park that we had planned to visit was closed for the hunt. Parks here monitor their animal populations, and when a species becomes too plentiful, they have a hunt for a fixed time, and a fixed number of animals, at a cost to the hunter. So we toured the hill country, and returned to our park to housekeeping tasks.
