Surprise in Austin!

Hi All,

Two days of driving from Santa Fe brought us to Austin Tx to visit our dear friend Millie. Much to our surprise she went off to do an errand and came back with Sandy Shapiro, another dear friend from NH. (The "errand" was to the airport). We toured the Texas History Museum and then went to the State House.


A beautiful statue of Stephen Austin.

and a 250 foot high dome.

The senate chamber has the original wooden desks from when the building opened in the late 1800's.

Next stop was the Oasis, a bar and restaurant perched on the shore of Lake Travis.

The lake is a wide spot in the Colorado River behind a tall dam.

Sunsets are very popular at the Oasis.
Great fun and perfect margaritas.

Love,

Sandy & Carl
