That was pretty much the feeling.

Also, when the wind blows in Texas, it's always made me feel like I was about to fly.

I moved to Austin nine years ago, and never regretted it for a moment. One of the things I particularly love is that Texas Weather is a drama queen! I always enjoy reading your posts, but I must confess that I am particularly enjoying the Texas ones. (And your train trip observations.)

Texas Weather is a drama queen! How perfect is that?

I spent the night in Austin with my younger brother and his family -- they've recently moved back there. He took me to see Barton Springs Pool in Zilker Park, which looked like a completely amazing place to swim, and also out on a boat on Ladybird Lake, which was really fun. I've given readings in Austin a couple of times, but haven't really spent much time there. Maybe someday I will -- I've heard such good things about it. Glad you're enjoying the Texas posts -- it was so good to be there.
