canyon lake

April 4th.-Wednesday, we took today to just stay put and enjoy our camping surroundings in Canyon Lake.  This is a wonderful military campground.  We had a wonderful site (#4) and could walk down to the playground and beach.  This was a good central place to stay as Canyon Lake is halfway between Austin and San Antonio.  After breakfast today, we took a bike ride and we were literally the only

people in the whole area.  We enjoyed playing sardines while we listened to all the bird calls.  Bird sounds we’ve never heard.  One is really unique and sounds like a

siren and I recorded it so that we can ask an expert.  After lunch, we got held up with income tax complications so that by the time we got back to the beach, there were a few folks tent camping.  Mark and I did practice with our mutes while Janae and Stefan played and played in the water.  I got to swim laps and catch some rays in the lounge chairs that seemed to live in the water.  The water was very clean and not too cold.  The sun sets late and we stayed late and enjoyed the warm evening.

This was our view while we practiced the Adam Routine. The little specks in the middle of lake are Janae and Stefan enjoying themselves.  Water was warm and I enjoyed sitting in those lounge chairs in the water and swimming too.

Bought these cray fish from a road side stand on our way back from Austin.
