Luke graduated!
And then we packed up and moved to Austin.
And moving is expensive, yo. So while we get our finances restabilized, most of our recreation has consisted of exploring Austin’s many free local parks and trails. Our favorites so far have been the Pennybacker Bridge clifftop trail…
…Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park…
…Bull Creek District Park…
…and Shoal Creek Greenbelt Trail in the heart of downtown.
There’s so much life in and near the creeks.
Along the limestone banks of Walnut Creek there were these clumps of what we thought were some kind of moss, until we got up close to one and realized that each one was a colony of harvestman spiders!
Elizabeth’s hand for scale:
How cool is that?
We moved down from DFW in the first week of June, and just today we finally got our tv set up and plugged in. I guess that’s a testament to Austin’s ability to lure us out of the apartment and keep us entertained outdoors. We’re still kinda in the habit of comparing everything to San Antonio, but Austin’s parks and trails get three solid thumbs up.
My next post will probably be all about the new Central Library, because that shit is amazing.
