Austin II

Yesterday, Adam noted he seems to like places that others describe as 'weird.' Portland, Asheville. Cities well-known for quirky culture, creativity and laid-back sensibilities. Certainly, Austin has a corner on these elements.

Here, we have found ourselves with easy access to outdoor art, nighttime bat watching, big burgers, beef BBQ and local beer, shady running paths, palm trees, free hugs, scruffy cats and live music. The area where we're staying is a panoply of Spanish language churches, independent grocery stores, pet peacocks, girls on bikes with dogs in baskets, food trailer parks, homemade dune buggies, vintage Vespas, and streetside domino games.

So, yeah. Weird.

We like it. We like vacation.
