The Bullock Texas State History Museum is hosting a series of free concerts every Sunday for the month of May. Today’s concert was scheduled for outside, but the threat of rainy weather pushed it inside. There were three bands, and they all were very talented. Maybe I will be back for more next Sunday?
I was walking near the Capitol Building at sunset this evening and snapped these photos.
This was a cool event. Celebrating World Belly Dance Day on the south steps of the Texas State Capitol. I also roamed around a bit…
It is back in the pool for me. It has been forever since I swam laps, so today’s 20 minute session was taken slow and easy. Hello self – you should be doing this several times a week, if not every day. I don’t listen to self reasoning very well, but now that my first swim session of the year is done, it should be easy to return to the pool and do it again. The cloudy weather made for a perfect, cool day. 🙂
Today’s lunch was consumed at Bribery Bakery. This place is unique in the area, as they do not have a set menu, but serve up the daily choices from their glass case. The selection of desserts is very extensive and very yummy! My lunch consisted of a turkey and guacamole sandwich, a chocolate and caramel cream pie, and an iced coffee. It was all great. If you find yourself in the area, and are in need of some snacking, then check it out! Today, they were busy baking up a storm for Mother’s Day on Sunday.
As the sun set on downtown Round Rock, it was time to meet up at the Main Street Plaza for the Daytripper Round Rock Premier Party. Chet Garner, AKA “The Daytripper“, was meeting and greeting his fans, running around organizing last minute things, raffling off free goodies, making sure everyone was fed, taking photos with people, and smiling and having fun the whole time. When it was almost dark, he thanked the guitar player and introduced his show about Round Rock. We all watched the half hour episode with interest for our home town places and its history. If you find yourself sitting around looking for something to do, check out his website for some travel ideas in Texas. If you want to take the easy way, look for his popular bus trips and get some Texas exploring done with Chet as your most capable host.
This bronze sculpture called “La Fiesta” by Dan Pogue, can be found just in front of the Round Rock Public Library. It is a pretty fun piece of art, and it can be yours for a small price. 🙂
I am relaxing near the Colorado River at a little known section of Woodlands Park. The main part of the park has some nice facilities, but if you wander towards the lake and cross a small bridge, you will find a peaceful place on the river. Picnic tables, cool breezes, shady trees, watercraft passing by, and a nice view are all to be discovered and enjoyed here. If you need one of the best stair climbing trail workouts in Austin, then check out the River Place Nature Trail, just across the street. I haven’t hiked that one in a while, so I need to return soon on a non-relaxing day to take on its challenges.
Here we have most of the usual suspects, but I really liked James Spader’s portrayal of Ultron.
I am hanging out at Cianfrani Coffee Company in Georgetown today and thinking about going for a long sunset walk. This place always has some cool art on the walls. Sipping iced coffee, killing time on my iPad, and enjoying some local art. Yay!
