Austin Blogging

We're in Austin, and we love it.  The food, the people, the things to do, the open spaces.  I'm not gonna lie, we are so happy being here.

"I've never been happier since I moved to Austin," said out super cute, shy waiter who was about 19, then drew us a map to his favorite local spot.

Ok, so first today we went to Ladybird park.  It was nice.  A bunch of joggers runnin around it.  Lots of fish ready to be caught.

Families on bikes, couples with picnics.  You get the idea.

SO then we were off to Clarksville, on the way, I saw this:

hmmm, looks like things are doing better than back in Cali.

The food here has been incredible.  For lunch today we ate at Sago, some modern Mexican place.  I'm telling ya, delish.  Last night we has more mexican outside in a field with large shade trees strung up with twinkle lights.  It was pretty idealic.  Good amount of people out too, but never crowded.  The weather is warm enough at night to eat outside in shorts and a shirt.

After lunch we went to a street called "South Congress" where we stopped at some cafe's, pet some rescue animals and poked around.  It was awesome.

Here are some SoCo memories:

Mmm, my Texas Tea from this place:

It's called:

There are alot of activists in Austin, including for animals.  They had the cutest dogs and puppies being rescued.  This was Paris, she loved me and was going to be killed this morning, but these guys rescued her.  Cute in a bandana!

There is an awesome used clothing store here with a pair of boots Andrew has his eye on.  We might swing by tomorrow and pick 'em up.  Texas boots, can't beat em.

This was a delicious smelling open air market.  Pass the bbq sauce.  You  can kinda see me in this next shot.

we love austin

This guys was awesome!

Imagine when you're looking at this that you're smelling the best BBQ ever, and listening to live musica by the guy in orange shorts.

A belly shot, proving it's true

Oh my!  Perfect!

Can't be Texas without some open spaces, right?  A whole lot of land out here, it's wonderful.

Tonight we're getting some real Texas BBQ, seeing Mason Jennings play on 5th, and touring downtown.  Tomorrow we're going swimming at the green belt, and maybe jumping off some big rocks while we're at it.

Hope you liked the pictures as much as I liked taking them!
