My wife and I went for a walk around 4 Drizzling and a little cold we went through some streets we hadnt been before and kind of gawked at some old houses and a church or two. Nice elegant old buildings.
Clean air and the rain. It was smelling like that real desert.
We turned north on 9th and got to this mural. Started off with weird creatures and scenes. It was block long. By the time we got to the other end it had pictures of buildings and stores we had seen on the way there.
Found it on the web so heres some pictures

Such a cool thing in a place weve never been in town.
We walked back to the car and she drove home. Walked towards the university. 4th street was empty. Got to the university and looked back at university. Sun was low enough for that glare to start. Streets were still wet enough to amplify it. No cars or people to absorb any of it.
People were out but spread out. There were people walking by the university but fewer than normal. The mall had some people playing but much emptier than a typical saturday afternoon.
Walked about 7.5 miles. Ill have to start bringing a bag. I normally like to stop along the way to get a drink but not now.
Best walk in a month.
