First of all, my sincerest apologies to those that may have thought my two-day blog hiatus was somehow related to my being eaten by cats.
This did not happen.
To my knowledge the only foods our cats have been eating are kibbles, although I cannot vouch for Erwin as he seems to eat anything and everything except for (I hope) human flesh.
My lack of blogging was actually to due to the fact that our last hotel had abysmal internet service and therefore could not be trusted for the important task of uploading DSLR photos. Given this dire circumstance, all I can say is Thank GOD for 3G! No facebook posts were missed, no pinteresting had to be delayed; we were fully connected at all times. (But, can I just briefly comment on how I had 3G while driving through the desert today when Dave only had Edge? I felt so superior lording my Verizon plan over his AT&T plan. Ha!!).
In spite of this most serious of first world problems, we somehow found it in ourselves to carry on with vacationing. We had particularly good times going to the missions around San Antonio (including the Alamo) as well as wine tasting in Hill Country.
Incidentally, did anyone know Texas could produce good wine?? They can, and do. Highly recommended! Alas, I cannot provide you all with samplings of some excellent Cabernets, but I can provide you with photos. Enjoy!
Day 8: Austin/San Antonio
Our last coffee stop in Austin... :(
One last stop for a food cart breakfast.
We stopped by the "Cathedral of Junk"
It was a sculpture/structure in this random guy's backyard.
Makes my hoarding problem seem minimal...
