An Afternoon Stroll in Zilker Botanical Gardens
After a week of cold weather in Austin – with the temperature in the 30s – it was very pleasant that today, 1 February 2014, the temperature reached 74 F. Before this rare beautiful warm weather suddenly turned to gray and cold again, I, Alfred and Junior took the opportunity by strolling in Zilker Botanical Garden. Considering it was in the middle of winter, we did’t expect much of this park. It turned out that in spite of the unfavorable season, Zilker was still able to show off its charm.

Eat New Orleans: Tasty Local Dishes
Based on our friends’ must go recommendation, while in New Orleans we went to ‘Eat New Orleans’ for dinner. The restaurant – located in French Quarters, not far from the famous Bourbon Street – was so small and somewhat overcrowded. Fortunately, we had made reservation in advance and we got cozy table in the corner.
The selection of dishes that they offered was limited, but all of our orders tasted great.

Atlantic City: the Boardwalk City
While waiting for our son, Junior, to join us in New York City from Austin, Texas, we took a quick trip to Atlantic City.
We arrived in Atlantic City on May 17, 2013, late afternoon and start searching for a hotel. The hotel has to be on the famous boardwalk.
We decided to stay at The Caesars. A huge hotel – kind of old compared to many other new establishments in the city- but the room was spacious and the public areas were luxurious and pleasant and the rate is much cheaper.
After we settled in, then it was time for us to explore the Boardwalk with its unique exterior.
If you were too tired or too lazy to walk, you could use this mode of transportation
A visit to Atlantic City would not be complete without trying your luck in the slot machines.
