Visited the incredible Cathedral of Junk. Texas Chili House = Delicious. Enjoyed the end of Austin's "Free Week" by taking in some local music at Mohawk & Emo's.

Wandered around the big garden(Zelker?) in Austin.
Met Lindy & Stephanie at a neat café called Spider House. They are headed NW to Portland, OR. What are the odds of running into friends doing the same thing in the opposite direction? Spent some time wandering about town together. Failed to find hot apple cider, but got a nice view from the downtown Hilton's patio (free).

Lunch together at the local grocery store co-op before parting ways. Drove to Houston, dinner with family.

Visited Houston Museum of Natural Science. Butterfly exhibit - always incredible. Saw the Grand Canyon on IMAX (despite having passed up an opportunity to see the real thing). Gem room was closed for a reservation in the main exhibit halls, but there was an oil well drilling simulator...
Wednesday, Jan 14
Saw Clint Eastwood's new film, Gran Torino at Alamo Drafthouse. Not bad.
We're planning on leap-frogging to Florida this weekend, then coming back to New Orleans for a reconstruction project from the 25th-30th.
