Tuesday, 13 September 2011 - Texas road trip!
Wednesday, 14 September 2011 - Springs and sunsets
Thursday, 15 September 2011 - Up on the roof
Friday, 16 September 2011 - Austin City Limits music festival!
Saturday, 17 September 2011 - College Football!
College football (as in American football) - it's a fucking big deal in America, the likes of which we have no such concept where I come from. I mean I'm sure we have university sports teams, but they don't attract crowds or a cult following like this. Anyway, part two of my birthday present from Kristina was front row seats to Texas A&M (one of the main Texas college teams) versus Idaho State - isn't she awesome :) For this we drove a couple hours northeast of Austin to the city of College Station for the night, built around the A&M campus and absolutely full of students. Texas A&M are known as the Aggies - I have no idea why but as you can see the city is all about its university!
Sunday, 18 September 2011 - Finally the heavens open, in time for the beach
Monday, 19 September 2011 - What did you do today? I went to Mexico
While I was in the water, Kristina made a sand hill complete with tunnel hahaha - strange girl.
Sunday, 25 September 2011 - Golf mission
Next up, Mission San Jose - established in 1720, and also in pretty good shape to this day.
Monday, 26 September 2011 - And that was Texas
It feels like I've been here a lot longer than a month - I've done a lot of shit! Cycling, tubing, swimming, music festivals, sports events, weekends on random lakes, touring random towns, a quick jaunt down to Mexico, etc etc. And while I'm a lot tanner than when I arrived I'm also heavier - 5kg heavier in fact hehe. I've been the exact same weight (70kg) for about ten years, until I come to America for a month. Anyway, I've absolutely loved it here, and am really looking forward to coming back for a bit (to collect all the crap I'm leaving here) but in the meantime Kristina and I board a plane at bloody 5:45am this morning bound for Bangkok! We arrive at 11pm local-time on Tuesday night (we skip forward a day when we cross the international date line), then for the following three months who the hell knows, but a daily dairy of it all will be here :)
