Austin, Texas

In August, Gene and I did a little off-season traveling to Austin, Texas.

We knew for certain that Austin's premier draw--the annual March South by Southwest (SXSW) festival--would not be our scene anyway. It would be like going to New Orleans during Mardi Gras; there's enough action without the festival taking it to a sensory-overload level.

We went to see live music, visit our friend Suzanne and to feel just how darn hot it gets in Texas in August. Posted just now because of computer breakdowns that began during the trip, here it is--the Austin recap.
