TEXAS

---

We arrived in Austin to discover our hotel was not very 'downtown' at all and RIGHT BY A VERY LOUD FREEWAY! I decided to be ill for the first three days, thwarting Raj's plan to eat nothing but steak for a week by being unable to leave the room. Eventually we made it into town and headed up Congress Avenue - be in awe of our dedicated cultural sightseeing, when we wandered briefly through the State Capitol building and wondered 'are we supposed to be here?' Found Raj some authentic BBQ. I'd love to be here for South-by-Southwest, there are a lot of music venues around but most charge a hefty cover, the only free music seems to be country. Tomorrow we're leaving for Florida!

aww
sorry you were ill izzy. my friend from uni who has just left leeds cos she was here for just a year has gone back to usa and she lives in austin texas and goes to that uni. not gas studies though. the pictures are all well different, like the skyscraper one makes it look like some big ass town all businessy and new, then the gas station makes it look like a really crap place then the capital building makes it a bit less modern, but really grand and that, then the eatery places look like something from a western or something... how bizarre, it doesnt seem like it should all come from one town... xox
