Little towns like Ennis, West, Shiner & New Braunfels are rich in their German heritage and celebrate them with annual festivals. I don't think Waco was a German settlement, but I speculate the owner of the Trade Winds was of German decent, or they were trying to cater to the German decedents who vacationed in Waco (many museums) or who came to see their children in school (Baylor University). Just my speculations though. [ Edited by: Unkle John 2011-03-07 08:16 ]
