Austin, TX

This afternoon we flew from Orlando to Austin, my first flight since moving from Massachusetts to Florida more than a year ago (though Margaret flew to Europe in September).

After a bit of a delay to rent a tiny cheap car from Hertz (we’ll won’t be using them again – Alamo preferred!), we drove to the hotel and then in to Austin city to walk along the (other) Colorado river. A nice place to walk, though very busy with runners and cyclists!

Some great skyline views of Austin (iPhone 6, still very pleased with it’s pictures):

I thought this one was scariest – the window image is actually a video of shadow zombies walking past and then struggling at the window to escape (at least, I hope it’s a video!):

The most amazing one is this two level zombie apartment constructed in front of the owners garage – and complete with graveyard!
