01/03-01/8 Texas (Austin)

It's been a while, but I'm finally back to update....just going to pick up where I left off.

The next day, Asaf and I made it only to Tucson, AZ.  Asaf hadn't been feeling well since NYE, so we went to the emergency room to make sure nothing was wrong.  We were there pretty much the whole day and the doctor didn't really have any explanation of what was wrong.  We left the emergency room and drove to El Paso where we stayed the night.

El Paso to Austin was awful.  If you need to use the restroom, when you see a gas station STOP!  It may be the last time you see one for a really long time.  Twice I let the gas light come on...scary business!  We finally made it to Austin around 11 pm or so and Corrie met us with her dogs and hospitality.

I wish I could've captured how pretty this whole sunset was. 

Welcome to Texas.

Welcome to Austin

Asaf and I went to Texas University and walked around the campus.  Afterwards we met up with Corrie and her friend before going back to her place and watching a movie.  Late that night (3 am) I took Asaf to the bus station.  If I hadn't been so tired I probably would've stayed out riding around or something.  I didn't want to go back to Corrie's because I was sad I just said good-bye to my friend, but I did and fell asleep pretty fast.

Asaf is statuesque.   

We get told we look alike, but we're not even blood related...just have the same sister.

The next day I went to the Texas State Capitol.  Pretty nice.  I still have to say Boise had the nicest state capitol that I've been to so far.

Found this gem on Corrie's refrigerator. 

This is Baby...I think she looks like Forrest Whittaker 

After a really delicious pizza in Downtown Austin we had this for dessert.

Awesome band Explosions In The Sky bills.

Austin was nice...too bad it's in Texas  ;)  Corrie was a great host and I'm glad we had a lot in common.  We got along just fine.  :)
