Trail of lights

Hi,
there is really nothing much to say about the past weeks. I was just pretty busy studying for the finals. Ellen arrived on the 14th, what of course made me very happy (and I guess her too ;-)). As the icy weather is over, temperatures are setting new record highs for December. To give you an idea, we are still having day high temperatures of the upper 70ies. Imaging how this feels in the sun ;-). Thus, Ellen and I decided to walk along town lake towards downtown. The walk took around two hours and we just arrived as the sun was setting. Next we jumped on the next bus to have a look at the trail of lights, probably a typical american thing. For two weeks, every night a section of the Zilker Park was lighted through hunderets of thousands of lights. Actually it looks quiet cool, but the place was so crowded that I was happy when we passed the exit too.
