Big ol' Texas

After regrouping in Houston, we headed to Austin to stay with our friend Jeff. He took us to a mexican restaurant for dinner, followed by these super cool bars that were once houses. The whole street is a mixture of bars and houses, very cool idea and atmosphere. As Timmy said "it's like drinking in our living room!". Jesse had told me about them before we left but I did not think they would nearly be this cool. The following day we ventured downtown, while Jeff went to his big kid job, and walked around UT - Austin, and some of the main streets. Andy and Timmy went to a movie, while I did some errands and got my "valentines" some chocolates :) Later for dinner we went to my first Thai restaurant and then one of Jeff's favorite bars called the Ginger Man. Before leaving for San Antonio, we headed back to the downtown area, but just a little South of it to a street of a bunch of funky shops. I really did enjoy Austin, small city, with a young feel.

We took advantage of priceline once again and scored a hotel with a gym and laundry. Today we went downtown, toured the Alamo, Market Street, and the ever so cool River Walk. I had heard from a few people how awesome the River Walk is, but it was definitely cooler than I had expected. San Antonio is a very neat city, also not too big, but I did feel like I was in Mexico

Resting up tonight to head to Carlsbad Caverns tomorrow, some camping, and then onto more of New Mexico.....
