IKEA ShoppingIKEA Shopping

We were delighted to discover that IKEA has a store in Live Oak, not too from Rock Castle Dala Hus. We visited the store today and found a queen size sleeper sofa. We also had lunch at the IKEA restaurant.

Gruene is Green

Gruene sounds out as ‘Green’ in English. Good to know when people talk about heading over to ‘Green’ which by the way isn’t on any Texas Hill Country or Canyon Lake map. Gruene has been incorporated into New Braunfels.

Canyon Lake, Texas

Canyon Lake is managed by the U.S. Corps of Engineers and access to the lake is limited to boat launches, a few beach areas, and a few marinas. The lake itself is quite clear. If you squint at the map above you can see the Guadalupe River Dam on the right side of the lake.
