After New Orleans we spent several days in Austin visiting Cathy, Marilyn and Travis. Unfortunately, we didn't do too many touristy things here, mostly just hung out with people and ate so much food. We did manage to drive through the city and see the Texas state capitol building before stopping off at Barton Springs.
There was a family there from Europe feeding pigeons... sort of disease-scary, but entertaining to watch from a distance.
We also had to be sure to get us some Texas BBQ. We went to what is apparently the best BBQ in Austin, and you know it's good because we had to drive like 45 min to even get to it. This is the pit where the meat was cooking, they let us back to take a picture.
And this was the sampler plate Andrew got, complete with ribs, brisket, turkey and sausage. And of course the sides of potato salad, cloeslaw, homemade pickles and bread.
We also went out to the hoppin bars on 6th street one night. The food was excellent, we found a bar with arcade games and skeeball, and the buiilding downtown that's shaped like an owl.
After that we made our way to Dallas to visit with Jesse and where we finally saw some cowboys.
And on Marilyn's suggestion, we had some bluebell ice cream, which we had to admit was absolutely delicious!
