With the heat continuing to rise, it is difficult to believe summer break has ended. Instead of embracing this fact, I was able to extend it just a bit longer this evening. With my Monday ending at an unbelievable 6 p.m., I opted for a bit of relaxation at Barton Springs Pool where I met Kate and two of her friends visiting from Ireland. I wasn't able to hop in for a swim as I forgot to bring a towel, but laying on the lawn was about as relaxing as an early Monday evening could be. Although the temperature was well above 100 degrees, there was a cool breeze coming off of the pool making the air feel much less stifling. With less people than usual, it was also serene and quiet, intermittently punctuated by the sound of the diving board popping, followed shortly by the sound of a splash in the water. If there was a soundtrack for the end of summer, I think these sounds would be on it.
