Fun Day in the Sun...

Since the summer is winding down, my friend Patty Gilbert and I decided to take a day and spend it in Austin. She knows the area well and wanted to show me some fun places, so we took off not knowing exactly where we would end up. The first place she took me was a natural spring called "Barton Springs", where she had hoped we could lay out in the sun and swim, but it was closed for some cleaning and repairs. Instead she took me to another pool area where we spent a couple of hours just laying out in the sun and talking. After some time in the water, we left to go find something to eat. We ended up at a fun restaurant on the bay and ate a polynesian lunch of various kinds of fish, including fish tacos that were wonderful! We spent some time visiting a few of the artsy shops and then headed home, stopping to pick up some homemade pasta that she is going to serve tomorrow night when she has a small dinner party to celebrate July birthdays with friends...mine included!
