Well, June is here and I am trying my best to recouperate from the trauma of May. Steve and I left for Texas on Sat. the fourth. It was quite a trip. We had truck trouble when we hit Houston. I do believe there is a hex on Steve and Houston. We did survive and actually made it through Houston. We arrived of course, in Austin during rush hour.
Our hotel was north, so getting this was going to be an experience. (As I look back over our stay there. Saturday was the best day we traveled.) I will tell you now. Houston is a piece of cake traffic wise. I will never complain about traveling through it again. The entire time we stayed in Austin we were faced with trying to find the easiest way to get around. The best solution was traveling at 6:00am in the morning. The rest of the time was HORRIBLE. We, of course, as you can tell..survived. But we will never stay in Austin again. We have decided that we will stay in a town past Austin and I will travel a long way around Austin to visit my friends.
Our visit with family and friends was wonderful. Right now, we are in Odessa. We have decided that we will not be traveling home through Austin. In fact, we may avoid the entire Interstate system if we can.
