Round Rock
The Round Rock is a little piece of history in this town. According to Wikipedia:
“In 1851, a small community was formed on the banks of Brushy Creek, near a large round and anvil-shaped rock located in the middle of the creek. This round rock marked a convenient low-water crossing for wagons, horses, and cattle. The first postmaster called the community “Brushy,” and the creek was called “Brushy Creek”. But in 1854, at the suggestion of the postmaster, the small settlement was renamed Round Rock in honor of this now famous rock.”
You can find the Rock in the middle of Brushy Creek, just off the Interstate. Once you visit, you can check it off of your list of things to do in life. 🙂
Bell
This bell grabbed my attention the other night when walking through downtown, and I thought that I would try to come back another day at sunset. It belongs to the Main Street Baptist Church in Georgetown. I’m not sure if it rings or not, and I think it has seen better days.
Wild Things
I think I have crossed this bridge a billion times (well, maybe not that much), and if I am lucky, I will cross it a billion more. Now I think they built it to keep people like me from tromping on the wildflowers and dandelions. 🙂
Michael Schneider
This Solo Piano Recital was nothing short of amazing. If you ever have the opportunity to see Michael Schneider, please take advantage of it. Plus if he has his very own page-turner, you know he must be awesome. 🙂
First Baptist Church Austin
I visited the First Baptist Church in downtown Austin this afternoon for a Piano Solo Recital. The church was really nice. I liked the sanctuary, the stained glass windows, and the lobby with the four story mobile and the sculpture of the Archangel Michael.
Moonlight Tower
According to Wikipedia, Austin “is the only city in the world known still to have light towers.” Pretty cool, huh?
Royers Pie Haven
What better to eat on a cool, rainy day than some pie? My destination was Royers Pie Haven near the University of Texas campus. The pie slices were yummy (although a bit small for a filling lunch). No problems, I’ll just order two – the Margherita Chicken Pizza Pie and the Chicken Pot Pie. The staff is so sweet, they decided I also needed a complementary tiny slice of Ann’s Pecan Pie for dessert. Their little pie shop is a busy one, and I can see why.
Mesa Rosa
Lunch today was at Mesa Rosa Mexican Restaurant. Their bar is pretty cool looking and one day I need to stop by for happy hour. Today’s feast was chicken fajitas along with chips and their creamy jalapeño sauce. Most excellent!
Turkey Creek Trail – Hike
This trail can be found on the right just as you round a bend and cross over a narrow bridge on City Park Road. The trailhead parking is before the ranger booth for Emma Long Metropolitan Park. The hike consists of several creek crossings, and a climb to the top of a small ridge. The area is currently leash free, so expect to encounter lots of wet dogs roaming the trail. I tried – and mostly succeeded – to keep out of the creek while hopping from rock to rock. I got to see the sunset from the ridge top and then had a dark hike while trying to find my way out. I didn’t get eaten by monsters, so all is good. 🙂
