So Much Meat

When in Texas ... Eat meat! We've had awesome fajitas, 2x BBQ, and at this point .. I just want a salad! The food has been very solid, but my cholesterol medicine is having trouble keeping up. 

We got settled into our Austin house yesterday, and today was back to the work grind. We did find time to head down to the lake and get our feet wet. 

Austin is hilly!! Looking forward to getting a bike ride in sometime this week. 

TTFN!

THE BOULDER

Yesterday, we made our first trip to Boulder, CO, recently named the best place to live by US News. It was definitely pretty cool, but the cost of houses is astronomical. Pearl street was cool, and some of the neighborhoods Pearl-adjacent were even better. I'm sure in a COVID free world it would be awesome walking around and eating out. But I think Boulder, like a lot of other similar-style cities (Burlington, VT or Old Town Alexandria come to mind) suffer from the COVID situation even worse.  Today, we left as soon as school ended and headed up into the mountains for a high-elevation hike out to a waterfall. It was really awesome - enough scrambling for the little goats to have fun but nothing too arduous. Overall great time at 8500'.  Tomorrow... Not sure. But I think Cheyenne, WY this weekend!

The End of this Phase

Tomorrow, we're heading home. It's been a while since we left, over 6 weeks since we headed west.  We've seen some stuff... We've also seen some shit. People in this country can be amazing or down right awful, but it's been a wild trip for sure.  Austin-wise, I think we'll need to come back post COVID. While we used Denver mostly as a base to go hiking and exploring, it seems like the jam in Austin is more social, so I think we're not really getting the whole sense is this place. I'll tell you though, it is NOT flat. I went for a bike ride and damn! Those were some hills.  Most of our time was spent trying out different Texas meat specialties: bbq, tacos, etc. We also got some rather solid sushi with friends this week, which was a nice change of pace from all the red meat! And the girls got to play with discuss chickens (live ones) while the adults played catch up.  I am looking forward to getting home, but this trip has helped us all learn a lot: - that
