Saturday 14th May 2011 – Arrive Austin TEXAS
Arrived into glorious sunshine and baking heat to the Lone star state of Texas. After a super speedy check in and shower at our Extended Stay America hotel we headed out (feeling ever so slightly travel tired) to The Broken Spoke dance hall to see Alvin crow and his band. Now after 4800 miles of travelling your going to want a drink, you may even go patriotic as we did and order a Lone Star beer, what you don’t expect however is a the barman to have the mancunican twang of a Lancastrian and then still to be IDed. A few lone stars and 2 chicken fried steaks (not a chicken in sight) later we were Texas two-stepping our way around the dance floor with more Stetson clad dancers than you could shake a stick at.
At this point neither of us has slept much in the last 48 hours so it’s off to bed.
