I can't think of a better way to end such a relaxing weekend than with a sunset picnic on the top of Mount Bonnell. With the standard picnic fare (ciabatta rolls, guacamole, hummus, cheese, some sort of deli meat, and pita chips), we made the seemingly endless trek to the top of Mount Bonnell about a quarter of an hour before the sun set over Lake Austin. To see the view from Mount Bonnell is to be reminded of how blessed I am to call this city and this state my home. Tonight's sunset was especially incredible: with a perfectly cool temperature, a slight breeze, and low humidity, we comfortably watched the sky change colors as the sun descended under the horizon, with a splash of people watching and eavesdropping for good measure. Such a wonderful Sunday evening is bittersweet this time of year: I know we're lucky to have such a beautiful, cool evening, but I also know those evenings will soon turn unreasonably cold for this native Texan. This being said, I'll take full advantage while I can.
