Pickles and Books

So, yesterday after I finished up work, Teresa and I walked over to downtown Bryan. From our door to the Main St. is about a 10-15 minute walk. We were headed to the Bryan Public Library so we could get us some library cards. After some minor paperwork, we are both library card owners! We can check out books, magazines, DVD’s and framed artwork. They had some lovely paintings of sad clowns that we may need to borrow for a possible clown party.

After that we were feeling a bit peckish so we walked around looking at some local restaurants. This town, and area actually, is filthy with Taquerias. We are very excited about some good Mexican food. We think we may need to designate one night where we explore a new Taqueria each week.

We ended up at a place called the River Bridge Bar & Grill. It’s okay, nothing special, and not a lot to eat for those picky vegetarians. They had tasty fried pickles though. After the River Bridge Bar & Grill we walked a little more and ended up at DQ for some tasty ice-cream treats.

On the walk home we came across an odd thing. A lone duck, sitting on a power line. We stopped and watched it for a while before Teresa made it fly off. Check out the video below. And while you are at it, check out a couple other videos I took by have not posted.

Here we are hanging out on the railroad tracks in downtown Bryan.

Here is the duck on a wire.

And here is a bunch of birds, swallows I believe, that were flying around on Tuesday. There were even more of these birds, but I could only capture so many on video.

    Wylie, we have swallows flying over our house every evening just like the ones in your video. Hundreds of them swooping and swirling about, all making noise at the same time. Makes me dizzy to watch them but I consider it special that they’re here. One night this spring we had the same event only with hundreds of seagulls! Imagine the swallows but so much bigger and louder. That was something to see!
