Easy Day

Victoria, Texas

Weather: low 72 degrees, high 86 degrees, partly to mostly cloudy skies

We were tired after the drive to Bay City yesterday. In my case, the tiredness was made worse because I slept badly on Friday night, getting about two hours of sleep. Last night, both of us slept well, and it was almost 0700 hours before I got up. I felt so much better with a good night's sleep.

After a leisurely couple of hours waking up, I went for a long walk, which worked up a good sweat with the humidity as high as it is. Being sweaty called for a shower, which made me feel much better. By then, it was time for a late breakfast or early lunch.

After eating, I went back to the old downtown part of Victoria to do some more sightseeing and take a few pictures. This one is of the gazebo at De Leon Plaza.



De Leon Plaza is located across the street from the Victoria County Courthouse, and is an oasis of green and tranquility in the center of a busy town. On sunny days, the shade from the old trees probably lowers the temperature by at least ten degrees.

This picture is of The Rosebud Fountain and Grill. It has been featured on Bob Philips' television series "Texas Country Reporter".



As in most older towns, there are plenty of beautiful, older homes to see and admire.







Another slow, easy day in the life.

More later, be safe.
