____________________________________ Last week - before the Board met in San Antonio, I extended my stay with a few extra days exploring San Antonio and a 3 night trip to Austin (Where ARSC had the 2005 Conference). It's less than 80 minute drive and there great food and live music (with minimal cover charges) there. I will be sharing some photos and videos of San Antonio shortly but, since I put the one together for my days in Austin, I thought I'd share it. I strongly want to encourage those coming to the SA Conference next May to plan to EXTEND your stay in SA and even rent a car to drive to Austin for a night or two. The hotel rate in SA is GREAT value and I was able to find a clean quiet modern room in Austin for $62/night - single or double. This video runs 4 1/2 minutes and is just the still photos (with captions). I thought it was easier to do this than to make a "photo album". I'm going to make a separate one with my videos - including 4 full music performances - that will run about 20 minutes. But I hope it'll be entertaining. The video shows how much you can see and do in Austin in less than 4 days! (and i didn't capture it all!) The video is an UNLISTED Youtube, so you need the link to find it. _Four days in Austin in 4 1/2 minutes - The Photos - YouTube_ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64Z1z0cg_Kg) I hope you enjoy it.
