Austin, TX

I was in Austin, TX recently. It was the same week the that crazy guy crashed his plane into the IRS building. Luckily, I wasn't near the IRS building and I left town before that happened. But, during my short time in Austin I had some of the best food ever. Great tex-mex (expected) (Chuy's with tacky elvis decor), HUGE Whole Foods (apparently it started there), and the most awesome ice cream (Amy's Ice Creams). There was also a fun looking downtown area (6th Ave, maybe?) that looked like it could be fun. Austin is definitely the best city i've been to in TX and I would like to return soon.


I also explored UT's campus a little. Enjoy!
Darrell K. Royal Texas Memorial Stadium.

Cute bus stop
Apparently demand is not high for BCS championship gear at the team store at the stadium.

Gross by way of Phoenix

I haven't traveled much lately. This week's scheduled travel was hampered -- at least in part -- by the snow storm in PA. I'm not complaining. My last trip was to Phoenix on 1/24-1/25. Nothing too picture-worthy happened in Phoenix. But, on my way back from Phoenix (first class, score!) I ran into a situation that makes me appreciate the Iphone camera. Below is proof that people are gross and inconsiderate. Enjoy!
