Life in Texas - Lots of pictures!

Here's kind of a compilation of pictures from around the Austin area. There's really 2 sides to Texas: a dry, desert side and a lush, fertile side. Both exist at the same time, just in different areas.

Dry:

This dam completely stops water flow. About 30 feet from the bottom is a road that leads up to a private ranch. Must be someone important to have their own dam.

Oh yeah, we definitely are. We've been going to the beach nearly every weekend, going out to eat almost every day, there's so much to do.

Tons of car shows, watersports, bars, Shakespear play last week, Rob Zombie/Godsmack concert last weekend, Fun Ford weekend in Dallas in Sept, Bulls vs Spurs game in San Antonio in Oct, Nascar race in Dallas in Nov... never a dull moment!

It's warm here, but not humid. Everyone down here complains when it's like 30-40% humidity, we just laugh :biggrin: We've had 23 days over 100 this month so far.
