We find ourselves in Brenham, Texas. We had expected to be in Burton tonight, but there were no rooms available in Burton so we had to press on. There's nothing on route between Burton and Navasota. The additional 50 miles was too far, so we veered off-route on Hwy 290 to Brenham. We had headwinds and rolling terrain most of the day. Turning onto 290 was a relief because we had better grades, a broader road shoulder, and even some tailwind when 290 turned away from our route. Today I was the turtle hero. I assisted one turtle and saved another. The first was crawling across the roadway. I picked him up and put him down on the far side of the road. The other turtle was on the shoulder on 290, a four-lane busy highway. The turtle appeared to be unhurt, but he was flipped onto his back. He was waiting helplessly for someone to run him over. I felt good about the rescues. We see so much roadkill of helpless animals that I feel ashamed of humans' indifference to the damage we cause heedlessly. Les advised us to "Czech out" the kolaches at Weikel's Bakery at La Grange. Kolaches are a Czech version of Danish pastries. This area was settled largely by German and Czech immigrants. Andrew introduced us to kolaches back in Kerrville. The Weikel kolaches were better, though the bakery was such a hassle to get to by bicycle, across a narrow bridge with heavy traffic and a couple of miles from our route, that the kolaches may not have justified the detour. We stopped again at Round Top, stated population 90. we passed a multitude of flea market areas for antiques en route. We are told that 50,000 people may attend the annual two-week antique sale. Round Top has an old school building labeled "Round Top Public School 1878 - 1912 Round Top Colored School 1912 - 1953". There's a park at the center of Round Top where we found a couple baking pizzas in a mobile wood-fired brick oven. We ordered pizzas. Michele promptly dropped ours; Michele was ready to cry so they gave us another pizza. We are told that this area was all cotton farms a century ago. Round Top had as many as 5000 people then. A disease called "cotton rot" devastated the area. Round Top never recovered. Many fields along the roadway are awash in wildflowers. Yellow and red daisies predominate. Other fields are filled with white flowers.
