Austin

Another picture from our hotel in San Antonio.  I loved that place!


 Yesterday we went to the Alamo again and were mostly really confused about their system.  We went to go inside the church and the guy said we needed to go get a ticket.  So we walked across the way and requested 2 tickets (they were free) and he printed out a receipt and we walked back over to the first guy.  It felt bizarre.  If the point is to control the number who enter, can't you just get one of those little counters to click?  We understand the gist, but also don't feel like we have a solid grasp on what exactly happened there, but it was broiling hot and we didn't stick around to read everything.

We ate at a restaurant on the riverwalk that made table side guacamole.  It was so good!  

We headed back to Austin, stopping at a Buc-ee's.  I bought a Halloween shirt.  I have more teacher/holiday themed shirts than I should, but it was irresistible especially with the "put a spell on me" which reminded me of the theme song of the podcast The Shrink Next Door. Mark and I listened to that podcast the summer he was diagnosed with diabetes and it got us to and from a lot of doctor appointments.



A woman on Adam's team, Liz, lives in Austin.  We went to dinner and hung out with her a little bit in Fort Worth last year.  She met up with us for dinner at Terry Black's BBQ.  I had a few bites of meat, but mostly sides.  We really like Liz and it was fun to have dinner together.

Our final stop of the evening was the bridge on Congress Avenue where bats fly out at dusk.  I tried to take a video of it, but it failed to really capture it.  I kind of like it when that happens.  You had to be there.

We are staying at a Sonder apartment in Austin.  It is nice and roomy and will be a good place for me to hang out while Adam is working all day.  Still working my way through back to school online training.
