Eastward, Ho!

We had a good final day in Austin-- in between errands, we had lunch at Ruby's, which was highly reccomended to us by a couple different locals for good local BBQ. mshollie and I both had the BBQ sandwich-- frankly were not impressed. The brisket was too fatty. No complaints about the homefries.

I got my digital camera uploading to my laptop properly.

Bonner & Robbie took us out to our final (for this visit) Austin dinner at Matt's El Rancho, a Tex-Mex place dating back to the 1930s. Doc & Debbie came too. I hope Doc, Ben, and others will be able to fullfill the goal I was unable to in my stay in Austin: establish a New Orleans style brass band here.

We're planning to head out of Austin in the morning, and spend the night at Hollie's sister in Baton Rouge. Wednesday morning back into New Orleans-- Hollie's place in Terrytown, with reliable electricity and clean water, will be the base at least to start with, and I'll make my first reconiter of my home uptown.

In Austin, even the car lube places are groovy and pacifist.
