Austin Trip, Day 5
The second beautiful day, but still no replacement rental car. I really wanted to see the Alamo, but I didn't want to drive all the way to San Antonio with the cracked windshield, so instead we went for a shorter drive. We decided to eat lunch first at the Nutty Brown Cafe. Really good food, and apparently a happening live music place on the weekends.
Next up was way out in the middle of nowhere. It was, ranch, ranch, ranch, house, ranch, ranch, Hindu Temple, ranch, ranch, wait, go back! What?
Now, I still hadn't seen any longhorns up close and personal. I'd seen a couple off in a field, but they were pretty far. So my host took me to see the Westinghouse herd. Apparently there's a tax write-off if you have livestock on your property, so even local corporations take advantage of it.
As always, the rest of the set.
Dinner was at Cheddar's with my host and his roommate; we had the worst service I've had in a long, long time. So bad, in fact, that we got all of our meals for free, which was a nice savings. To comfort ourselves, we went to Whattaburger and had fried apple pies and shakes. Yum!
