Back home


I’ve returned from my trip to Austin TX, we had a great time!  I scouted out some apartments and potential employment and generally explored my soon-to-be home.

Highlights:

  • Rented bikes from Bicycle Sport Shop and got in some good riding.
  • Consumed much coffee at Mellow Johnnys
  • Breakfast as Juan in a Million
  • Dinner at Salt Lick
  • The people!  Seriously, I’m pretty certain Austin is the friendliest place I’ve ever visited.

As everyone knows it’s a great place for cycling,  bikes are everywhere.  Of course checking out well stocked bike shops led to a few impulse purchases, so my Voyageur has some new goodies.  I picked up a mirror, new water bottles, new bottle cage,  cue sheet holder, and some nice padded gloves.

June 1st is the move date, I can’t wait!

    I miss the food! Check out the omelets at the Omelettry, and the blueberry pancakes there are the best I’ve ever had. Also the Magnolia Cafe is very good. Well they were ten years ago; it’s been a while. Enjoy the warm weather and the hills!
