Well yesterday the weather forecasters were sort of correct with their predictions. It didn't actually rain, but it felt like it should've. It was pretty grey, overcast and humid. By about mid-afternoon the weather front had moved through and the late afternoon was all blue skies and sunshine.
I went for a bit of a hike around Lady Bird lake -- basically a circle from the Congress Ave Bridge as far east as you can go. According to my map that's about 6.5 miles.
It was good to stretch my legs and hopefully burn off a few of the calories I've been packing away! It took me about an hour and a half, maybe a bit more, and I was certainly nice and hot and sweaty afterwards!
I showered back at the hotel, then mooched around downtown for a bit. I've come to realise that when people in Austin go shopping they jump in their cars and go to malls out of town. There really aren't any shopping areas downtown that you would normally expect of a city this size.
I quite fancied a nice cold beer so stopped by The Ginger Man. God knows who many beers they had on tap, but it was a lot. I settled for a couple of pints of Live Oak Big Bark. Just what I needed after my exertions!
