Monday: November 20
We spent the day strolling around Lady Bird Lake with Jack. The pathway was busy with bikers, runners, walkers and dog walkers. The river was colorful with people in red, blue, yellow and green canoes and kayaks rowing under the bridges of the city. We found a lush dog park for Jack. He had a great time playing with a lovely silver colored Australian Labadoodle. I think he remembers his friends, Annie and Larry.
The river park that runs through the city is a quiet well maintained area for locals. It is a large green space in the middle of the city. The Lady Bird Lake is a reservoir that used to be called Town Lake but was renamed in Lady Bird’s honor a few years back. The tall modern buildings of Austin create a magnificent background to the park.
The people of Austin are very friendly. Anytime we needed information people were willing to help and gave great detail on places to eat or how to get somewhere. We had BBQ for lunch at Black’s BBQ. This was the first BBQ in Texas and it did not dissappoint.
We need to spend some time reorganizing the RV and cleaning it up a bit tonight because we will be spending the next few days in Dallas and then off to Marfa, TX with the Zerner’s.
A relaxing day in all but well worth the walk in the river park. It was beautiful.
Sounds fantastic... Jack must have had a blast .
