100 Pizzitas
Here is an interesting concept for a restaurant. Pizzas treated as tapas. 100 Pizzitas also has several full blown pizzas to choose from if you prefer not to sample some of the 100 different 6.5″ sized ones. My favorite tonight was number 59 – Provolone cheese, bacon, York ham, mushroom & cream. There is also a view of the Texas State Capitol building from the patio to enjoy.

Poco and Amigo
It has been a while since I met with these two curious and friendly donkeys. We hung out for a bit, they allowed me to take some photos, and then we bid farewell as I began my walk at Berry Springs Park and Preserve. I finished as the sun was setting, and called it a day.
Local Guides
If you are a fan of Google Maps, you can help out the world and get some benefits like upgrading your Google Drive storage. I have used and contributed a bit to Yelp, Gowalla, and Foursquare in the past, but fell out of like with them all. I’m usually out and about with a camera of some sort, so why not contribute a photo or a review every now and then? These screenshots are from tonight’s review of Shake Shack in the Domain – my first burger here. If you want to learn more about Google Local Guides, check out their website. If you become a super Local Guide and get invited to a cool party or get Google Drive upgrades or other free stuff, then you can thank me later. 🙂

Adelbert’s Brewery II
It is a rainy Saturday in Austin, so I took it easy today. I watched some football, had lunch with a friend, stopped by Adelbert’s Brewery, and chilled at Starbucks with my iPad. What you see in the first photo is a semi-wet picnic table outside the Brewery with a “Naked Nun” – their awesome Wit Beer which was chemically enhanced by a few stray rain drops.
Tarka Indian Kitchen
My dinner tonight was Indian food at Tarka Indian Kitchen. I chose the Lamb Korma with a medium heat. As usual, it was yummy.
Overlook Park
Today’s mission was to walk across the North San Gabriel Dam, down the hill, and then to the fishing pier at Overlook Park on Lake Georgetown. Sometimes you get a groovy sunset, and sometimes you get beautiful colors. It was a nice cool evening at the lake with an occasional fish jumping to break the calm surface of the water.
