Photo Blogging Challenge (January 2023): The Best

The Best! Am besten(I'm doing German on Duolingo) 2024 started with quite a bang. The best is a good place to start. But is the best yet to come?

Baylor opened a new basketball arena in January. They did some real scrambling to get it ready in time and we were there opening night. The new thing around here is smaller venues. The Foster Pavilion is smaller and LOUD. It should be a fun arena. Bill Gates was there, he is dating a big Baylor donor. You can see her name on the floor there, Paula Hurd.

2024 started off strong in the life music department, too. My wife, sister, and a good friend went to Cancun for a four day music festival with Noah Kahan as the ultimate headliner. It was a great venue on the beach. All the musicians were friends and performed together throughout the trip. Here is Noah with Taylor Meier from CAAMP having some fun.

My sister hit the jackpot with our room. I'd say that this is definitely the best way I've attended a live show...from our balcony.

All the acts also had an intimate pool set. It was pretty cool seeing a live show in a pool as long as you didn't think about how much these folks were drinking and that many weren't leaving the pool. I'll leave it at that.

Wrapped up January with a little 7.5 mile hike out at Reveille Peak Ranch. We took a round about way to Decision Point. It was a great day hiking and weather wise.

So fun! The four-day music festival in Mexico looks like one of the best possible mixes of ways to enjoy music. Cool that you're working on German via Duolingo. What made you pick German? I studied Spanish for quite a while before we went to Argentina. Now thinking about starting Norwegian, pre-2025 vacation there. I found you have to go with the paid version...otherwise too many restrictions/irritations. You?
