Walking the Katy Trail

This morning we took a long walk on the Katy Trail. I live relatively close to one end of the trail. Well, if you count about half a mile as close. From my condo, we walk 3 blocks west to Market Street, then take Market through the West End to Houston Street near Hooters and Dick's Last Resort. We pass the House of Blues and continue on past the W, the Terrace and American Airlines Center to the entrance of the trail.

Lots of Sunday walkers, runners and bikers. We walked briskly to Lee Park and jumped off the Trail at Lemmon Street. We took Lemmon north to Oak Lawn and went to Eatzi's for breakfast. So much good food to choose from there, but we chose to order from the breakfast grill Migas, potatoes and bacon.

Sitting on the Eatzi's porch/patio was relatively pleasant as a light breeze helped. We had too many potatoes but the Migas was very good, although a little heavy for the amount of exercise we were getting from our walk.

We headed back south on Rawlins street and climbed back up a steep embankment to get back on the trail just west of Lee Park. Going back was very hot as the humidity continued and the temperature had increased a lot from the earlier walk over to Eatzi's.

What a great way to start a Sunday. The strenuous walk was comparable to the 3 hour hike we did last week at Lake Texoma. We're hoping the weather cools off soon so this kind of weekend fun will be even more enjoyable.
