Wendy
/ March 18, 2011Water world!
I am already subscribed to the feed. My favority body of water is Lake Travis, NW of Austin. Austin is one of my favorite cities (and where I went to college). I have spent many a Saturday (and maybe a weekday…though I never skipped class to go, I promise) hanging out at the lake. I also like Town Lake (name recently changed to Lady Bird Lake…after Lady Bird Johnson). I spend many an afternoon jogging/walking around the lake. You have made me miss Austing thinking about all this.
