Steck Valley Greenbelt

IMG_5780

It is starting to cool a bit in Austin (only 95 degrees today), so I decided to go for a short hike.  Steck Valley Greenbelt consists of a walk downhill to a small creek bed.  You will find some mossy spots, some rocky bits, and areas of the trail out in the sunshine.  At the bottom of the trail it spits you out into an office park located along the 360 Highway.  From there, it is a short climb back to the trailhead.  Just the right length for a quick evening jaunt.

International Music Festival

I saw four great bands today at the International Music Festival put on by the Texas Music Museum.

  • Indrajit Banerjee and Sri Gourisankar – Indian Music
  • Kunitan – Andean Music
  • Batuque Raiz – Brazilian Music
  • Flying Balalaika Brothers – Russian Music

I was surprised to discover that the two gentlemen playing the sitar and tabla were my favorite music of the afternoon.  You can find them on the Internet and YouTube if you are interested in hearing their music.
