Austin, TX

Austin is as cool as people say it is. We could feel it as we drove in and it reminds us so much of Burlington only bigger and more Texan. Our hosts Becca and Caitlin have been amazing, providing us with a map and list of noteworthy places and they've welcomed us into their friendly and genuinely great group of friends. They quickly talked us into staying an extra day and we're glad we did, there is so much to explore! We had a fun night at their local bar, Cheer Up Charlie's which reminded us of our own favorite dive bar the Three Needs back in Burlington. We've been eating food almost exclusively out of trailers (on the famous south congress st) which seems to be a big thing here except for the deep fried, bacon wrapped jalapeño cheddar hot dog we ate at (allegedly) America's best bar, the Jackalope. Austin has amazing food and is just one of many reasons why this place is so cool. Thanks again to our amazing hosts Becca and Caitlin! Now...gotta run and catch happy hour!
