So, we went to explore Salado, and stopped right away at the 'Salado glassworks'. A truly inspiring experience. It was the last day before they were going to close for a few months because they are moving to a larger facility. Gail Allard, artist and owner made a few beer kegs out of glass - blow, turn, mold, handle - while we and a few other folks were watching. WANT! to try. Some pictures below. Afterwards we checked the former college out ( with cowboys attending, at times) and some springs from the Edwards Aquifer - nice and fresh to cool our feet.

Salted - Salado: a trip to the Salado Glassworks - glass blower in action
Salado is a little settling some miles north of Round Rock, Texas, a bit further north than Georgetown with its nice 'downtown' area.
