Austin Ave. Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

#windowseat Not really sure exactly WHERE this is, but it was on the way into Houston, so I'm guessing we were around Waco, Texas. Window seat strategies take into consideration time of day. Having a seat on the left-hand side of the plane allowed me some views that were illuminated by the late afternoon sun AND (if you can see it) a rising full moon. Had I sat on the other side of the aisle, I no doubt would have seen a glorious sunset. From up here, it's all amazing, and I was captivated by the light and shadow play going on between the clouds and the earth. #lifeatexpediagroup
