Austin Street Style: Christine.

Below the Congress Avenue Bridge in Austin.

For the first time in years, I watched the Mexican Free-tailed Bats fly out from under the Congress Avenue Bridge.  I went with my biology class, and it was our final sesh of the quarter.

Fun fact?

Austin is home to the largest urban bat colony.

Another fun fact?

I have two more finals to go, and then I can have my sanity back for a week!

I wish Autumn Break was longer than a week because, afterward, I have to put all of my attention on the new quarter and graduation.

Dum, dum, dum...
The Congress Avenue Bridge, with the bats leaving for the night.
