We had a slow start to the day and walked around the estate with the dog and had a late breakfast as we were due to eate and early dinner.
We drove in to town and went to the large theatre complex which was mostly funded by Michael DELL (the computer chap) to watch a group called the Blue Man Group which had spent the last few years working in Las Vegas but had now decided to do a tour of the USA and were in Austin for a week. It is three men, supported by about twenty others, dressed in what looks like blue plastic and they play musical instruments made out of plastic piping and then us a lot of modern technology in their act. It is quite inventive and colourful and also a bit noisy at times and would not suite all people as there is a lot of flashing strobe lights. It was a great show and the first few rows in the theatre are given plastic macs to protect them from colourful liquids and there is a also quite a lot of audience participation which is not to everyone's taste.
We left the theatre and went to a local down towns restaurant called Perry's where six of us, John and Denise and their son Michael and his fiancé Kathryn had a most enjoyable meal. JOHN recommended the pork chop which Jennifer and shared but still could not finish as it was seven fingers high and large elsewhere but delicious all the same but trher was no way that Jennifer could finish. But it was a great dinner.
The lowers temperatures form the North of the USA are arriving here tonight, it was cold during ther day but temps overnight are due to be around -1 Centigrade, Wow.
