So day two of our road trip started late since we left New Orleans around 4. No worries we are professionals! The GPS that I had ordered for the road trip did not come in time so we were going off of directions from my fiance and we had no doubts!
The roads that I took were different than the past ones I had been on. I remember lots of oil rigs and flat land. This trip there were oil rigs but not nearly as much. I also felt as though there was a bit more green which was nice. Anyway, it was dark and seemed like we would never make it. Luckily my sister was on her way and we got there around 12am. We checked in and went to bed.
The next morning we checked out the pool. It was indoor and my sister wanted nothing to do with it. We asked the lady at the front desk where some cute unique shops were or real touristy spots to get post cards. She told us directions to a lake where we could "sit and watch the world go by." When my sister explained again she was looking for lame touristy places she gave us directions to the mall. We decided to just explore.
We wound up in downtown Austin and walked around a bit. My sister said it was great but it really reminded me of just a college town. Lots of bars and pubs and it smelled like pee. We found a couple of shops to purchase post cards at and even became big spenders with a $4 fee to see their "weird museum." It was like Ripley's in Atlantic City, but much smaller. We got some pictures and headed out on the road again.
