This week I traveled back to my hometown of Austin, Texas, and BOY! was it hot. And wow, since I have been gone, so many things have been built up. And I think it's only been a year and a half. Sheesh! Pictured below is just one of the razed buildings downtown (the former home of Texas' first brewpub—that will be making way for more high-rise condos):
While we were there we saw and did many things:
We saw cats...
And kids...
And rented a boat...
And ate duelling paellas...
And boy did we eat meat!
One thing that Texans are REALLY interested in is MEAT! As evidenced by the meat-fest at Cooper's Old Time Pit BBQ in Llano, Texas:
And, as always, everyone is interested in chocolate, and I enjoyed bringing some TCHO love with me to share with my friends and family. One thing I always had to remember, however, was never leave it in the car!!
Anyway, it was quite an interesting time I had there, reconnecting with friends and family. I have to say, though, that I was quite happy to be back in good ol' 65-degree SF!
