First Blog EVER!

So this is my first blog ever. Everyone else is doing it and that's a good enough reason for me. So in the spirit of health, Dan and I tried jogging again today. We're starting a regimen of alternating running and walking so we don't tire quickly and give up. I'm not sure if that part is working yet. Anyhow, we jogged down Barton Creek trail towards Barton Springs Pool.
Once there, we watched a deaf kid on the diving board signing what would be his next dive. We thought he was joking at first when he did a double flip motions with his hands. He showed us - when he pulled off that move followed by 2 other impressive dives! The breeze was blowing nicely and the sun was setting. We headed towards the Zilker Hillside Theater stage to watch the beginning of Beauty and the Beast.
This is an outdoor stage with a live orchestra! We stayed for most of the first song until it started to get dark. We were very impressed by the quality of the production - great sets, beautiful voices, real lights/sound, etc. We jogged back down the trail a few minutes and could hear the wonderful music for quite a distance. The community of Austin continues to amaze me. There is actually a system in place, whereby companies sponsor events and people can enjoy things for FREE! The money isn't wasted or pilfered...the citizens reap benefits here that I couldn't have dreamt of in NJ. These accidental opportunities we come across amaze me every time.
