Monday 16th May 2011 – Austin TEXAS
Breakfasted at the Wholefoods (if it’s possible to be in love with a supermarket I know am) outdoor cafĂ© accompanied by the crazy chatter of the blackbirds that live in Austin before Leon headed over to Waterloo records for a good hour and came back with a load more CDs but a seriously depleted bank balance. Then it was back onto the bus for a trip to the Horseshoe Lounge, a proper dive bar with advertisements on the toilet wall for bail bondsmen and offers to women to buy their eggs. A couple of drinks and a few rounds of shuffleboard later was realised that we both suck at shuffleboard, before heading back into town and spying this little lizard fella basking in the midday sun.
