It was First Friday at The Williamson Museum in Georgetown, so I thought I would drop in and have a look. It is located in an old bank building on the Square. For some reason, I fell in like with the historic safes on display. They were cool.

Día de los Muertos
There was a Día de los Muertos Celebration on this rainy day in Austin at the Mexican American Cultural Center. They had memorials, performances, art, crafts, food, and drink. It was a little bit washed out by the weather, but still fun for all.
Raining in Austin
There is some spooky hard rain in Austin today. For now, I am keeping dry at Maggie Maes and watching some football on Sixth Street. They also have some of their Halloween decorations up to enjoy.
Voodoo Doughnut
If you find yourself smack dab in the middle of Sixth Street in Austin and your sweet tooth is calling out for satisfaction, check out Voodoo Doughnut. They will satisfy your craving for sugary goodness. My friends and I dropped in here after a downtown meeting today and it was yummy. I had the “Bacon Maple Bar Doughnut” with maple frosting and bacon on top. Killer!
Unbranded
Hey y’all! Get your hands on this Film (or maybe read the book). Unbranded is a story about wild mustangs, four college friends, and a trip of a lifetime riding public lands from Mexico to Canada. Trust me, this is a great American documentary.
St. Edwards Park
Hello St. Edwards Park! It has been a while. I started off on the Tim and Maggie Boatright Memorial Trail that runs between Spicewood Springs Road and Bull Creek. This part of the trail has a few lingering wildflowers and a busted up house. Then I climbed up the path at St. Edwards Park, took in the view of the hills, got lost in the woods, found my way downhill to the dam, watched the fish swim around, enjoyed the soothing sounds of the waterfall, and headed back for my car. All adventures were accomplished before sunset.
Texas Book Festival II
Banger’s Oktoberfest
There is a small Oktoberfest Celebration going on at Banger’s this weekend, so I thought I would stop by for a pint. They boast to have the largest tap wall in Austin, with over 100 beers on tap. My choice was a Belgian-style Witbier called “Freetail Rye Wit” from the Freetail Brewing Company in San Antonio. It was very enjoyable as the sun started to set for the day.
Butterfly Fountain
I don’t think the Monarchs were aware that a Book Festival was underway…
Texas Book Festival
Here are some scenes from a most beautiful day at the Texas Book Festival. It is so cool to sit in on the discussion panels and then to roam the grounds of the Texas State Capitol.
