Austin Farmers Market! Above and below: Johnson's Backyard Garden, Organic Farm.
Elephant Garlic... Less peeling.
Wild boar pate'. He caught and slaughtered the animal himself before making this excellent forcemeat. Accompanied with a fresh baguette, 6$ made for a perfect lunch.
Natural spa?! After hiking in the midday sun, we were lucky to happen upon this spot. Met some great people here.
Barton Creek.
I experienced some short term memory loss when we were in Louisiana. I don't remember most of the hospital visit, but I remember about a minute of time when I didn't know why I was in Louisiana and I didn't know what we were doing. Probably anyone who has had a concussion goes through this moment where you intersect with yourself. It's almost like someone else took the wheels for a minute. I remember hearing myself say, "well good thing we kept a blog because I don't remember a thing." ....I would say that. And from the flip side, when Craig told me what we were doing, driving across the country in his truck...keeping a blog...something something... I remember thinking, wow, that's pretty cool. I guess I am kinda cool. Huh... I wasn't really surprised, but I was puzzled, a little excited. It was like I was meeting myself. I didn't know even how I knew Craig. But I was comfortable having him comfort me, I didn't feel alone or panicked. My autopilot driver knew me pretty well and understood some things about my life intuitively though not exactly cognitively.
So the trip has changed since then... Were now in this rental car, which we can't sleep in; no more fort, no more vegetable oil, no more need to power through the southern heat without air-conditioning. It's a little cushy, staying in hotels... But part of the lifestyle that we were traveling in was with the mentality that anything could happen. So we may as well appreciate the fact that we can still drive with the windows rolled down and well... At least we know our next shower is hours and not days away.
Location:Austin, Texas yeeeehawww.
