I'm sitting at Spider House in Austin right now, typing away as birds chatter loudly in the beautifully decrepit court yard. So far we've been having a great time. We checked into the Austin Motel last night at 7:00 after a very fast paced 7.5 hour drive from Covington. After checking in we had Palomas, tortilla soup and taco's at Guero's. Today is all about shopping and so far we bought Shanna a sweet pair of cowboy boots from an amazing western wear store and I finally bought Neal Stephenson's Quicksilver at Book People.
I love Austin so much, I always forget just how much until I'm in it. Beautiful terrain, interesting, rational people and all kinds of other independently streaked culture makes this one of the coolest places in the country. I'm glad we chose to come here for our honeymoon although I now wonder if we are actually going to make it into some of the other towns we originally planned to visit. I think we'll just stay here until Thursday then head straight to Houston for a trip to some museums and Ikea.
Here are the links to the wedding pictures.
