Austin
May 29 and 30, 2009

Getting there is half the fun. Our first glimpse of Interstate number 10. We would see a lot of this.

 

Breakfast in Alabama.

 

Then Louisiana

 

And then TEXAS. I REALLY wish it went this fast.

 

Supper in scenic downtown Bastrop (just outside Austin).

 

Of course it was MEXICAN.

 

AND THEN after 33 years - UT Austin and THE TOWER!

 

And AGAIN - THE TOWER!

 

My old dorm (Jester). Honestly - it has (or at least had) it's own zipcode. There was contruction everywhere on campus it seemed.

 

AND - where Mary Ann and I lived after we were married. It's amazing that the Aspenwood Apartments are still there on Guadaloupe.

 

Our old apartment (at least the door).

 

A SHORT tour of the UT Austin Campus
The old but to me the NEW music building.

 

The orchestra room. I spent a LOT of time there.

 

Well, I will say we never had a gamelan room.

 

It was contest day for high schoolers. A choir warming up.

 

A view across campus from the music building.

 

Outside the alumni facility.

 

Some things never change. There also was a baton contest going on.
Warming Up.

 

The capital from the campus.

 

And finally back to the motel to pack up and go.

 

Also, did I mention THE TOWER?
