Every April, my husband and I make the journey to Austin, TX to meet up with my step-daughter and enjoy the MotoGP races at the Circuit of the America’s track. It’s the only MotoGP in America; the other MotoGP races occur in a variety of countries throughout the world. The last one was in Argentina.
I never tire of looking at the world from above:

Coming into Austin
It really is a Bijou Life

Michelle – Austin is a town with so much to offer. We visited there several times when we lived in McAllen, TX, and now we have a niece that lives there. Hope to visit again sometime. Enjoy your trip, and thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday. Come back again soon!

It really is a neat town. Love the bars and restaurants on Rainey street! I also found a bead shop, Bead It, at Oltorf & Lamar. Quirky place with lots of unique beads. We usually fly out right after the races, but had an extra day there this time.

I do love doing the same thing when I fly.

I love the view from above, too. One of my favorite places to fly into is Portland, Oregon, because you go right past Mt. Hood, which is gorgeous, and if it’s a clear day you can see 5 mountain tops in Washington, too, including Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier. One of the most interesting places I’ve ever flown into was Mexico City. I know it’s a big city, but seeing it from above… it just went on and on as far as I could see, which was amazing. Thanks for sharing at #heartandsoullinkup

The sights you described sound wondrous! I hope to see them at some time. Another interesting sight is the vast ocean when flying to Hawaii. At that point it really hit me how big the planet is – flying for hours and seeing nothing below but the sea.

I have never been to Austin but I have traveled across the Atlantic ocean more than a few times. It can feel so otherworldly up there when there are only clouds below and the sun is setting.
Michelle
Otherworldly is an excellent description.

I just love looking out plane windows, too! You had quite a bit of cloud-free flying, by the looks – lucky!
Mandy
I love taking pictures in the air too! The world looks so different from above!
Michelle
It really does! Thank you for stopping by!

Great shots from the plane! I, too, take photos out the window to pass the time. I’m so glad you joined me at My Corner of the World this week!
Michelle
Thank you! Yes, there’s something just so captivating about looking out the plane window.
