First Steps


I went for my first walk around my new city today. Mom and I had gotten out a little bit, but mostly for quick food trips down the block, and the weather was not conducive to leisurely strolls while she was here. Today was gorgeous and just a little nippy- about 40 degrees by the time I got home, so I decided to get lost. It didn't work, this place is so easy to navigate that I pretty much knew my way around by halfway through my second recon trip a year ago. One of my favorite parts about this city is that there's a nature trail on the banks of Shoal creek, which goes pretty much right through downtown. It turns out that my apartment is just off of the trail and it leads all the way to Town Lake, the center of recreation and sports in the center of the city. I can't wait to try everything there-kayaks, paddle boats, running, biking, soccer fields at Zilker park. This is a very active town.
