We have returned after a short trip to Austin, Tx to celebrate Christmas with two of our daughters.
One of the things that we always enjoy doing there is climbing up Mt. Bonnell which is part of the cities park dept. Seems to me they keep adding more steps…whew. It is 106 steps to the top on uneven slippery rocks. I only know this because I read it. I couldn’t count and breathe at the same time!
Fable has it that if you climb to the top once with a sweetheart, you will fall in love, twice and you will get engaged, and three times you will marry.
People have been climbing up here for years…old photo… circa 1930’s
Adding to the view, although some don’t feel that way are the mega mansions below belonging to the super wealthy.
The richest man in the world who has moved a couple of his companies to Texas.

Stay well and enjoy the rest of the year🎆Janey
Dearest Janey,
ReplyDeleteWow, what a beautiful area and I learned something about the Texas Colorado River; that starts and ends within the State.
Well, if EM cannot afford a tree cutter for removing that ugly skeleton...? 😜
One wonders and all of us have been 'feeding' him financially. All our book payment come in every month (well, after a 3 month wait...!) via PayPal.
Pieter would never have been able to climb all those stairs but I would have loved to go there with you, just for taking in the VIEWS!
Hugs,
Mariette
Beautiful views!
ReplyDeleteOh that guy! That looks like a fantastic view. I'm not sure I'm in good enough shape to do the climb. Maybe if I went very slowly.
