Austin revisited

Earlier  this year we visited Austin, the capitol of Texas however we had to leave early as it decided to rain very heavily resulting in Hurricane Issac. Austin is a very nice city so when Joy and Adam came to visit it was a great excuse to revisit this city once again.  We took the opportunity to spend some time in The Bullock Texas History Museum which is most impressive. It covers several floor and is loaded with heaps of information regarding the history of this great State.  


The impressive State Capitol building is just down the road from the Museum.


The architecture throughout the city is interesting which lends itself to an interesting skyline.


Just as we had done on our last trip to Austin we took the Duck Tour.  To see more about the Duck Tour have a look at  www.austinducks.com
The day was just perfect and with the remaining trees still displaying their fall colours it made for a pleasant day on the pond.




Last entry on Austin we showed Willy Nelson in the day light this is how he looks lit up at night.


Austin is now know as the music center of Texas and as one walks around of an evening the strains of music are ever present.  Sometimes it is better just to keep walking (depending on your taste in music).

Best wishes
Bev and Ross
