Lost in Austin

Sunday 15^th May 2011 – Austin TEXAS

Thanks to yesterdays early night we were up bright and early and headed off for a wander around the downtown area.  For a state capital Austin is decidedly laid back and homely and walking around the quite streets on my first day was an ace way to become introduced, and for Leon to be reintroduced to the home of the SXSW festival.  Clear blue skies and only the beginnings of what would become 25˚ heat created some beautiful sights, however as the camera batteries had just died this rare moment of walking round the almost deserted city is only recorded in our memories.  A buffet breakfast of burritos and waffles, dripping in blueberry syrup and cream at the Hickory Street Bar & Grill filled us up while we planned the day ahead.
