All Pods Go To Roswell 2003: Spacepod's triumphant return to Roswell!

caffiene rocks!!!

heh. i haven't been able to have caffiene this whole trip due to some medication i was on... but the meds are finished and at the first rest stop out of austin (which was also our all time least favorite bathroom of the trip, ick) supplied me with a nice cold diet coke.

i proceeded to, as jack kerouac said, ball that jack up to Dallas listening to modern lovers and talking heads while steph dozed in the passenger seat. Then I crashed (NOT the car) and she took over :)

Saturday photos are up, but not yet captioned:
Saturday Photos

or go down to the saturday entry and click the photos link.

even val and steph are boggled by the many photo logs available on the site, so i'm going to have to improve my navigation and make things clearer.

we had a fantastic time hanging out with Val! She was kind enough to let us crash at her place, show us all around Austin, and even make us dinner.

Yesterday we slept in, then saw "The Italian Job" (featuring three minis, which were quite enjoyable to watch) at a theater which also serves lunch during the movie. Then we headed out to see Val's folks, Leon and Mary Prause, who own a yellow '98 Beetle named Jitter. Attendees at previous Roswell events should know Jitter by the black musical notes along his sides (which have now been removed). I snapped a pic of Jitter's Roswell trophies.

After a little down time at home, we went on a boat cruise in the lake, at the end of which we got to see a colony of bats fly out from under a bridge, which was pretty amazing.

Val took us to an old Austin landmark, Hut's Hamburgers, for dinner. The onion rings were enormous! And our waiter said, "gnarly" when he saw my camera phone.

(Ok Sarah, don't read this part...) After dinner we went for ice cream, only the second time i've had real ice cream in about six months. Drooooollllll..... it was so good :) I had "Belgian Mint".

Today we plan to drive for at least 10 hours and get past Little Rock. We'll be cutting through Kentucky to get to Indiana, and I think this may be my first time going to Kentucky.

Hey, I had real pizza last weekend, so I can stand to read about real ice cream! Glad you got to see the bat colony. I saw them at the wrong time of year; I hear it's much more impressive now. (and it was pretty darned amazing in autumn when I saw them!) love, Sarah
