San Antonio to Austin, by car
I didn’t expect Austin to have so much traffic. I’d definitely heard it described such that the description “Berkeley of Texas” fit, but I always imagined it as more of an idyllic, smaller, western place. But it’s actually a major city. And just as Andre was saying, “There are these famous bumper stickers that say, ‘Keep Austin weird,’ ” Beth and I looked to the left and there was a person in the passenger seat of the Mini Cooper next to us wearing a huge panda head! of course, everyone thinks I’ll like Austin a lot. Which is probably true.
When we arrived at the house where Amy is moving in with her boyfriend Tim, there was no more moving to be done! So we spent the rest of the afternoon having lunch and driving around in circles looking for ice cream, which we finally found.
I’m so glad I got to spend some time in San Antonio with Beth’s family! I especially enjoyed getting to know Jacqueline and Madeline better. I’m excited to be able to spend some time with Amy here in Austin, and then to see Candy and Bill again in Kingwood. I have a pretty terrific family, and I don’t get to see any of them nearly enough.
