Austin 10K

Saturday, May 18, 2013

This event was made up of two 5K loops. We did the Domain Mall loop first which took us on sidewalks and gravel path along the MoPac access road to a nice shopping area which we looped thru and then retraced our path back to the start. These flowers along the trail made the trip to the mall nicer. Once at the mall there was lots of mosaic designs which I enjoyed.



But the best part was the second loop that went out and picked up a trail that was mostly in the woods. This loop was shaded and we enjoyed it very much. Below is a mini grotto we passed.

5k in Shreveport, LA

Thursday, May 09, 2013

I'm home now, but our last walk of the vacation was in Shreveport in the historic homes district. It started at a nice park.



There was nice churches as well as houses.



There was blooming plants. I particularly liked this arrangement.



This was my favorite house.

Daytona Beach 11K

Sunday, May 05, 2013

Sunday's walk was on Daytona Beach. We went around the marina/harbor area first before crossing the breach and heading out to the beach. This is the base of the bridge we crossed.



The bridge itself has neat mosaic pictures on it. I liked the manatees.



The beach itself was beautiful.

Deland,FL 11K

Saturday, May 04, 2013

The walk started out in the sprinkling rain but soon dried out. It was an interesting event. There was lots of murals around this small town. The first one commemorates the WWII Naval Training Station that was at Deland.



We passed the old Volusia County Courthouse.



We also passed the mansion home of John B. Stetson. It was built in 1880s. He lived at this home until his death in 1906. He was a benefactor for the local university started by a Mr. Deland, and the University was re-named for him.
