Weird Austin, Tuesday Evening

Today has been a day of "not quite." We drove to Buda, TX to visit a trailer parts store (need tie downs for the new tv and better wheel chocks) and to visit a Quilt shop. Found tie downs and couldn't figure out how they'd work on a flat panel, hummmm. The quilt shop was closed. We did locate a Border's Bookstore, I've finished all the books I brought along so I needed more. Larry is of course still Kindling, he found another book to order though. Also found Target etc. and a really good Tex-mex place to eat lunch. Then we tried to see the bats--Austin has one of the largest urban bat colonies around under the Congress Street bridge and we drove all around that bridge and couldn't find a place to park! So No bats. Bummer.

The trailer is clean, again, and ready to go tomorrow. We've had a couple of days of rest and relaxation which we needed. I even did some cross-stitch yesterday, more tonight I think.
Tomorrow we're off to Fredericksburg via Johnson City--more LBJ sites and a little german town, Larry's hoping for snitzel!

Travelling can be such an adventure! We once drove 160km out of our way to visit a famed antique shop only to find it - and the rest of the town - closed for the day. Sigh. Fredericksburg is an important Civil War site, yes? Surely there must be some good quilt shops there.

Have fun...Ann :)
