Dave's house is exactly as described, a peaceful and leafy oasis indeed, and the neighbourhood is quiet, perfect for the weary traveler.
Dave is the consummate host and went above and beyond what one would expect. We shared meals together and he helped me with transport and directions. My only regret is that I didn't have more time to enjoy the back deck and garden while reading Texas Monthly.
I hope to be back some day to do a bbq and dance hall road trip! Thanks again Dave.
