The State Capitol
As an excuse to do a road-trip in our 'new' car, Rusty, we got on the I-35 and rolled three hours south towards Austin. We went with no real itinerary other than to see the Congress Bridge bats. At sunset, a gigantic flock (swarm?...gaggle?) of bats leave their roosts under the bridge and swirl around the air. It was pretty dark by the time it occurred, but it was still pretty spectacular. Our night was capped off in a pub where two good-ol-boys sang songs about pick-up trucks and heartache. We also ate breakfast tacos in a park, drank Moose-drool beer, and found the last hotel room in all of Austin.
Highlights:
- Eating spicy tacos from a trailer.
- Walking through an oddities shop that had everything you'd never want plus creepy taxidermy furniture.
- Visiting the tallest capital building in all of 'merica.
