Obligatory Travel Post

I've done a bunch of traveling over the last few weeks in between working.  Here are some pictures I took along the way.  (Not dial up friendly!)  (You can right click->view image if you'd like to see these larger.)

There was a nice sunset when I got home on my birthday in December:

It is too bad you were only in Austin for work, if you ever are back in the area you should let me know that way we can get together.

Hope Texas didn't bore you to death ;D

Yeah, it was too short being there for just 2 days. I only had a chance to get out and walk around town one time. There wasn't any time to go visit anything. (A few years ago, I went to a similar meeting in Seattle and was there long enough to go to the art museum, to the Space Needle, and to feel like I got to know the city a bit.) My uncle had considered coming up from Victoria to take me to diner, but there just wasn't time to set that up either. I will certainly let you know if I'm ever down your way again!

Texas wasn't boring at all! I loved it- especially the weather. We did go out to several good restaurants. It was strange to have them wait on the women first and then go back and take the men's orders.

Do you have any idea what bodies of water those are in first Texas pictures I have? I was thinking about searching for them in Google Earth. They were when we were just outside Austin.

Austin isn't really my area, I'm closer to Dallas but I was in San Marcus the weekend you were down in Austin. Close but from the sounds of it we were both too busy to plan anything.

Wow putting me on the spot with the body of water question. I hate to say it but I have no idea *fails* you have a better chance at answers with Google Earth. I think the first one is of Lake Travis and the other Lake Austin.

I was actually there just on Tuesday night, Wednesday, and Thursday. It was a pretty crazy trip being so short. Where abouts is San Marcus?

One of the girls I was rooming with is from around Dallas too. (She brought her Supernatural S1 DVDs and got our roommates hooked by watching it every night.) We flew right between Fort Worth and Dallas on the way back. (We were directly over DFW Airport at one point.) I was kicking myself that the battery on my camera had died. Otherwise I might have had some cool pictures.

:P Thought it was worth a shot. I found one: The lake is Granger Lake. Not sure about the river yet.
