At our new home in Florida, we get a glimpse of the Disney Magic Kingdom fireworks every night, over trees and other houses – and this evening from our hotel room in Austin we heard and then saw fireworks over this city! Seems they are part of Halloween
A bit of a long way off and dark so hard to get good pictures, but these few came out reasonably well and provide good memories …
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).
Arriving in Austin, we saw F1 everywhere, including this great banner that Margaret wants on a T shirt:
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):
Margaret has headed off to Europe for a few weeks, meeting up with her Mother and her Sister (Kate) – and all three have now headed off to Italy, staying near Lake Garda. And this is the view from their hotel!
Meanwhile I’m home, working and looking after Chloe – and right now it’s pouring with rain, quite different weather to what the girls are enjoying!
