Fireworks and America's Independence Day

We celebrated the Fourth of July by riding our bikes down to Auditorium Shores to listen to the orchestra and watch the fireworks at Town Lake.

Here Beauty waits for us while we gather our bikes.

Here is part of the group riding down Nueces with Natalie in the lead.

Here is a shot of the bike rack and the orchestra in front of the Long Center for the Performing Arts.

Americans, Natalie and Alex, sing the star spangled banner, while Fabricio looks on.  And a shot of the hill and the moon where we watched the fireworks from.

A view of Austin before the fireworks.

And now the fireworks taken by our lovely interim House Manager, Jewels or Julio.  Jewels was especially fascinated by the reflection of the fireworks on the building.

And finally a parting shot of the group.  From left: Johannes, Alex, Natalie, Alex's friend and guest from England, Sara, Jewels, and Fabricio.
