Texas, Part I

Late Saturday we arrived in Austin after 3 Flight legs. We went soon to sleep since it was 24 hrs since the Alarm Bell reminded us it was about time to get up.
 
Sunday Morning, some light Rain. Hooray. Here it has been the driest year ever. Here you should have seen Lake Travis.
 
We went for a morning walk with Buddy.

Here you might see some Bucks.  We did. Now is the mating Season, and the strongest wins them all. 
The ladies invited papa on a shopping tour. Guess where? And Why? LOL.

After good prices in the shopping malls, it was about time to visit the winery: False Creek
 
First we had Lunch
Delicious

Anna tasting different Wines.
 
What did she think about the Wines? She felt Devine;-)

Table for two in the Winery
 
This is the end of our first report from Lago Vista, TX, 2011.
Have a good week to come…

Texas Hill Country -leaving

Hi, this is the last post from our visit to Texas Hill Country and wonderful Irene and Stephen in Lago Vista
( In fact – I post it backwards, so you will see the last report first).
 
We will miss our friends in Lago Vista. We learned a lot.
It was with a great sentiment we left.
Here Anna had to read a book in the Sunshine.
It was too hot for Nina (The Dog) to stay in the Sunshine.
 
Beautiful Buddy was in his House when we had to say Farwell.
Have a good training Buddy. We’ll meet again.
You are a good boy.
We miss you.
 
S and I drived us to the Airport and helped us with all the baggage.
We came down with allmost empty suitcases and went home with new clothes.
 
Ready for Take-off from Austin Airport
 
Looking down at Austin – with the reflextion from the Aircraft Window.
 
Here is wonderful Lake Travis as seen from Air.
We went on Boat down at the Lake.
