In case you missed it, here are the highlights from Just the Tip: Street Art From El Paso and Juarez. It was a tiny, tiny venue with a few interesting pieces of artwork.

Hike and Bike Trail Bridge
To work off my breakfast, I took a short walk along the Hike and Bike Trail near Edward Rendon Sr. Park on Town Lake. The sunlight streaming across this bridge was nice.
Juan in a Million
Today’s breakfast was on the East side of town. Juan in a Million is a Tex-Mex Restaurant that opened in 1980 on East Cesar Chavez, and is still going strong. I ordered from the breakfast menu and chose the Con Queso Breakfast which includes “Two eggs served any stle with queso, carne guisada, refried beans, potatoes and two flour tortillas”. I’m pretty sure this is a healthy way to start your day…
Texas Book Festival – Rainbow
Let this be a lesson to me – don’t be grumpy when you find yourself about a mile away from your car, with the umbrella in the trunk, and you are walking back in the rain. You never know when a magnificent rainbow will pop up out of nowhere to put an exclamation point on your awesome day in Austin. 🙂
Texas Book Festival – Butterfly Fountain
The Texas Book Festival is the best time of the year to seek out migrating Monarchs. They typically look for a food source at the fountain on the State Capitol grounds. They are so much fun to photograph, because they don’t stay on one flower blossom for long, but flitter about on their own personal schedule.
Texas Book Festival – Michael Fracasso
I was excited to find out that Michael Fracasso was playing in the Music Tent for the Texas Book Festival. He is one of my favorite local singer-songwriters. He and his band were awesome!
Texas Book Festival – Capitol
Today’s event was the Texas Book Festival at the State Capitol. I attended a few of the book panels, but didn’t fall in love with any of the authors I saw. The sun was mostly hidden behind clouds, so in between events, I walked the grounds and took a few photos of the gray conditions.
Windows
These windows in the dining room at Dave & Buster’s are most awesome. I arrived late for lunch, and had the whole place to myself. It is Wednesday, and that means half priced games all day. They also have some food specials that include reduced priced entrees if you purchase a game card. My lunch today was the Parmesan Garlic Chicken Caesar Salad and a Sour Lime Slush to drink. Yum!
Austin Samba
Austin Samba flat out rocks! The Brazilian percussion and dance team is so full of energy. If you can find them at an event, then please check them out. You will not be disappointed.
