We Arrived!!
Hi Everyone!
As I’m sure you are wondering...Tori and I made it to Texas in one piece! :-) We actually did not get lost the entire trip (except once, inside the army base at Fort Campbell –Kentucky/Tennessee, which was a small city in itself.)
We left early Wednesday morning, and arrived in Austin at 9:45pm on Friday night. We drove through so many southern states, and had a “fun time” driving through the ghetto of Birmingham and New Orleans.
Nashville was surprisingly clean, and we enjoyed ourselves at BBKings Blues club for the evening when we arrived Wednesday.

Thursday night, when we arrived in New Orleans, we met up with a college friend of mine, and spent the evening on Burbon Street! (We sampled the hurricanes and hand grenade...Then re-sampled the hurricanes.) All in all it was a great trip. A special thanks to Cracker Barrel’s books on tape deal.
Yesterday (Saturday), my friends Heidi and Nate took Tori and I on a tour of Austin, and we also stopped by my new apartment complex and toured the model. Afterwards, we drove past my new office, and then onto the famous 6th street.
Later last night, we had dinner at the 3H Cattle House, followed by a heated game of pool at the Saloon behind it (That is never to be referred to as a bar, because it’s not...It’s a Saloon :-). It was a great Authentic Texas evening filled with Lone Star Beer, and a live country band.

So, Tori left really early this morning...Today we're going to a fun place (with go-carts and viedo games!! :-) and I am hoping to venture out on my own to practice the route from Heidi's to work, work to the apartment, and the apartment to Heidi's...Wish me luck!!
