Austin tonight driving tommorrow

Pretty low-key tonight in Austin at Ariel's friend's house. We're getting a good night's sleep to prepare for a big driving day tommorrow. We're headed toward Santa Fe, NM tommorrow, which means doing quite a bit of driving through Western Texas. I know the route is over 10 hours. We may not make it all the way in one day. Ariel's friend Chris just told us there's hundreds of bunnies on the road at night, which resemble all the tufts of grass. Every once and a while a bunny will jump right in front of you. Loads of deer as well. Fun Fun. Will post tommorrow if we have a hotel with wireless.

how could you leave New Orleans with the sign huge ass beers to go. Lot of people arrive with round trip tickets and just stay and tear up the return ones. Visited for 3 days few years ago and was amazed at sights and sounds

Yeah, I wished we'd been able to stay a night, for sure. If the weather hadn't been so bad in Mississippi that night, we would have made it in time to stay. It seems *totally* insane there. We would've had a good time. Hotel rooms in nice places were cheap, too. And they are very happy to have tourists right now.

There's lots of places we can't really see too much of, since we've got a long way to go, and a timeline. But I can't complain too much, of course. Lucky to get such a great vacation:)
