Austin Day 2

We began day two with a driving tour around the west side of Austin - hill country. Doesn't Kay look calm here, as a corporate office tells her that the apartment we had just looked at would be $94-97 per day to rent furnished.....? Whew!

This is a cloudy morning view of downtown from the hill country though - beautiful!

Our lunch in the soco area was the best meal we've had, even though the sign out front suggested a more.....diner-like atmosphere!  It was very classy inside, and they make great italian margaritas!
Kay liked the area so much that we stopped to check on a house for sale.  Only 1.08 million.

Once we got back from lunch, we went for another long walk along the river. Here, we tried to get the ducks to come closer as we also watched for droppings from the pigeons perched above.
One of my favorite parts of Texas: crackles.  We are trying to decide if the brown ones are the females or if they're the babies....

After my dip in the pool. It was cloudy and a bit windy by the time we got back from our walk, so Kay didn't go in with me. (My feet are the ones covered by the towel!)

And for my last night in Austin (for now): dancing at the Broken Spoke. A true country dance club.  Lot's of Texas two-step (as opposed to competition two-step)....we met a few men with actual Texas drawls, who'd a thought??

Now it's off to bed so I can catch my early morning flight... hasta manana.
