Ye Kahaan Aa Gaye Hum... Barton Springs!!

Barton Springs - A magical place for walkers and runners! It is probably one of the best times we enjoy being together!! Every Saturday morning, Mohan used to go for his Marathon practice there on the 13 mile track covering Barton Springs and Town Lake touching i-35, Lamar and Mopac in a loop-like circle around the River Colorado. He usually starts off from the Town lake, along with his team of runners and take the full loop around 13.6 miles or whatever that makes a half marathon. After that he would come home, eat a full meal and sleep in the afternoon or watch a movie. That is yet another blissful time for him and for me as well.. I'd be on my own writing a blog or reading a book, like what I'm doing now ;-)

This morning we had been for a longggg walk in that same loop and covered a 7 mile stretch. This is the third time I'm going with him there for a walk and it was lovely! The weather was pretty good in the morning after a cold front last night. There was no sign of any sun and I usually enjoy the place particularly for one spot where people come there with their kids to feed the birds and the riverside ducks/swans/turtles. We had been there twice before and swore that the next time we go, we take some food for them. So today we went there with a packet of rusks. And birds and turtles just swarmed around us for their day's food. What a serene place and how nice it is to sit there with birds all around you! It was truly joyful.. one of the best hang-outs in Austin if you like being in peace with nature.
