The three of us (minus Abi) went to church at Hyde Park, with gospel singing just like what we see in the movies except that the choir team is all ang moh instead of African-Americans. Then we had a short visit to University of Texas, Abikia’s and Abi’s alma mater.

We decided to get some dim sum at the “Get Sum Dim Sum” place, just to taste some Chinese food, the Austin version.

In the afternoon, we watched Avatar, filled with action, beautiful scenes and romance between the two blue coloured main characters.
Just before heading to the park for Shakespeare in the park, I quickly did some Internet research on Midsummer's Night Dream, the play that we would be watching at the park. Abi told us that the park was nearby. Somehow it felt like it was a 30 minutes walk to the park.
At Austin Park
We had our picnic consisting of the wedding party’s left-over food (yes, there was a lot of leftover food), surrounded by others who were also there early to get a good spot. At 8 PM the play started and it ended at 10.30 PM. It was hilarious, especially the scenes where they were rehearsing a play for the King.
The play was a cultural event sponsored by Austin city, which means it was a free cultural and educational event for us. Thank you, Austin.

We walked back guided by the stars and Abi. Then it was time to shower and time to sleep.
