Day 51 – The Blanton Art Museum, downtown and the Texas Capitol

Oh no Gigg … don’t do it …


Inspiration in the museum


No, not a snowstorm in July, this is Thai sun block …


Su loved Dan’s hammock

Chicago has cows, Austin has guitars

Fire when ready … (see http://www.capitalareastatues.com/angelina.html for the story of this famous Austin woman)


Capitol building of the state of Texas in Austin



Davy Crockett – he’s handsome … or so I am told –


GW Bush, USA president, was the governor of Texas – not so handsome … I am told


Some old guy … with a picture behind him on the wall …

The Texas House of representatives

The rules of the House

These door hinges weigh 4 lbs (almost 2 kg) and there are 3 of them on each of the 400+ doors in the capitol building

The Texas Senate


A performer

the camera person


another camera person

I am not sure what this performance was


yippie kai yo kai yaaa



back in the saddle again

two map makers


a security guard at the capitol building (a lot different then the security guards in Washington DC)

If you go to the Texas Capitol, look for this guy’s picture … he’s handsome


The bulbs in the lights in the ceiling of the senate spell “T E X A S “


... admiring the capitol


Steve came to the rescue for a plumbing problem at Dan’s apartment – and he has a lot of interesting stories to tell

We had a very nice Thai dinner tonight …


The girls chatted with the staff and the young man came to 6th street to see them that night … when they were out with Dan and Lee …


Dan and Lee took the gals out for a night on the town, visiting the pubs on 6th Street…


someplace on 6th street …


Dan gave the gals a ride up the steep hill to his apartment on the way home from 6th street ( youth, booze and adrenalin are wonderful things … )


3am … dancing, after a night on the town …
