The other cool thing about Berry Creek Park and Preserve is that they have two donkeys. They have a large corral for them with lots of hay and water. While I was there, a family with small children came up and fed them. The donkeys came to the fence to check me out and one of them allowed me to pet him. That was nice of him. 🙂
I saw tons of cool stuff while walking at sunset today at Berry Creek Park and Preserve. The hiking trails have both beauty and danger, so beware! I’m not sure what kind of snake that was on the side of the trail, but lucky for me he had a full belly (check the bulge in the picture) and was too lethargic to be bothered with humans. He totally caught me by surprise! I took a quick photo and moved on.
I found a new spot in Georgetown for walking. It is called Berry Springs Park and Preserve and it is located just north of town where the toll road meets I35. Below is a photo of the trail map to give you an idea of how the park is laid out.
Here are some pictures from a Social Media Conference I attended all day at The Westin Austin at The Domain . It was designed as an Unconference where the attendees set the agenda and lead informal sessions on topics they are passionate about. I liked the format, and it kept me engaged throughout the entire event.

6.) Balance your budget.
7.) Organize your photos. ***Never-ending work in process
8.) Beat the jet lag.
9.) Nurse your reverse culture shock. ***Done – BBQ at Rudy’s for lunch
10.) Plan the next one. ***Never-ending work in process
So, at least I am making progress. I am thankful for the awesome hiking expedition and the fun in San Antonio over the weekend. I am lucky to live in a place with so many opportunities for day trips and weekend trips nearby. Now, what should I do next? 🙂
This church is right on the Riverwalk and was a great subject for some photos.
Today I am taking it easy and staying out of the sun as much as possible. I had a great time watching some football and chatting with the staff at MadDogs . This is one of my favorite bars along the Riverwalk and today’s visit was perfect.
These fountains can be found outside the Hyatt Regency on the Riverwalk. A nice cool oasis when walking around downtown San Antonio.
