Last weekend Nico and I met Gigi in Austin for a little R&R. We did discover that with the 110 degree weather, there is not a whole lot to do with 2 year old, but we managed to still have some fun. One thing we decided to do which was new for both Nico and I was head out to the Congress Ave bridge and watch the bats fly out in large masses at sunset. For some odd reason up to a million bats make their home underneath this bridge and April through early fall of every year these Mexican free-tailed bats bring quite a few spectators to the Congress Ave bridge each evening.
The three of us ate dinner at the Radisson Hotel right on Lady Bird Lake and after dinner we walked to the bridge to sit and watch these night fliers take the sky. Here are a few pictures. Take notice of the last picture with the dark looking images/clouds in the sky..these are the bats.
