We're Here!!


Happy Birthday Ray, we're here, safe and sound, 2902km. Austin was really our only boo boo and that's because we couldn't decide which route to follow (Mapquest or Good Sam) so we ended up taking our own after a few moments of intense fellowship but we arrived without incident and I think our route was far less complicated. River Bend Park is exactly what we had hoped for, quiet and private. Our site backs on the San Marcos River (where we hope to do some canoeing) and we are well away from the crowd - don't even have to pull our curtains, the birds don't mind at all. The temperature was 22 C when we arrived at noon. Yeah, no more winter stuff (at least till we head home in April). We are actually in the little town of Luling, Texas (famous for it's barbeques and watermelon and still a few oil wells), about 20 miles from San Marcos; 30 miles from Austin and 40 miles from San Antonio so there should be lots to keep us busy for the next few months. Abby's loving this, lots of room to run free, no crabs to dig but she's making do with birds, cows, goats, a few horses and a llama (he's not too sure about her).
