The heart of Germany in the middle of Texas, duh. Founded by Prince Carl of Solms-Braunfels in 1845 they hold a sausage fest every November and a wassailing festival every December, which sounds great. Unfortunately Cope, your German ancestry means by law we English have to dislike you (though largely because we are jealous of your success). We don't hate you though, that honour is reserved for the French and the Argies.
