FGES Tour #10: Austin, Texas


 I have been remiss in my posting! I ended up stuck in Austin, Texas for 18 days because Terry -- my non-binary Volkswagen EuroVan camper -- needed repairs. If you have to be stuck in Texas, there are worse places than Austin.

I didn't get around much, except early on, when my friend Becky, who, with her husband Mark, is also a nomad, took me out for a walk along the river downtown. There we encountered this statue of local musical legend Stevie Ray Vaughn.

Traveler's tip: if you're ever in Austin, you owe it to yourself to get pizza from The Meteor. Best pizza I've ever had. Also, go to a donut shop and ask for kolaches ("kuh-law-cheese").

  1. Just got caught up with your posts -- you and the Shorts have seen some interesting places so far on your travels! Austin TX is a cool place to be stuck in. I hope you're on your way again now!

  2. I've been to Austin--cool city. Too bad you contaminated it by taking those filthy shorts there.

    Love,

  3. It appears that Stevie Ray Vaughn is surrepticiously edging away from The 'Shorts...
