Texas Day 3

Day 3 in Texas was just as much fun as the first two!

Let's see...

The first thing we did was head down to Austin, Texas. Our initial goal was to go to the Zilker Botanical Garden. We ended up parking in a ramp because there was quite a bit of road construction, and congestion from a few events happening downtown, so we just decided to park and walk around and find things to do. Well, we walked down a few blocks to the Downtown's Art Festival that was happening Saturday and Sunday! We went in and walked the entire thing! It was a lot of fun and there were some pretty awesome things we saw!

There were some really cool buildings downtown (as I am usually drawn to) and here is one of my favorites: It is called The Frost Tower. It is a bank building I guess:

We bummed around Austin, the art fair, a couple of art museums, ate lunch, walked down 6th street, and then decided to drive over to the Botanical Garden. That was awesome but SO HOT!!! Wow! (I will post more pictures of that probably later! I took them with another camera). After that, we headed back to the apt for some relax time and another couple of showers. gross.

Oh, here is my other roommate for the week, Hurley, meet the blog readers. Blog readers, meet Hurley:

He is a pretty snuggly roommate, if I do say so myself!

Later that night, we went out to an "Irish Pub." Wow - SO disappointed, there was nothing "Irish" about it other than the initial architecture. They were playing RAP music for crying out loud and they had no Irish beer and NO STRONGBOW!! Sad, sad day! We stayed there for a couple of hours. Then there was a guy who was going to play live music for us, Markie B:

He ended up mashing up songs that didn't go well together and was just getting worse and worse as it went on, so we decided to ditch that bar and head to another down the street with more live (and better) music. The band was pretty good:

I tried a beer that is "a Texan beer" that is pretty good:

I got my first official Texan Sunburn yesterday (no, it's not some crazy Texan drink or anything...) from all the walking around in the sunshine. Yeowza. It isn't too bad, but still, it sucks to get burnt!

Well, that's all for now! Stay tuned for more of my Texan adventures!!
