Safe place to get your money out
Covering
so many miles yesterday meant we only had another five hours or so between us
and Austin. We arrived in the early afternoon to find out our hotel was in a
very seedy part of the city. After a decent walk in the hot sun, without a map,
hoping for Austin’s apparently non-existent café area to jump out at us, we
found ourselves quite thirsty. We headed into a bar and were introduced to Texan
brewed beer Lone Star. At $2 a pop, we suddenly became more thirsty,
Things
got even better when we realised we were sitting a table away from some serious
celebrities, not American, but Aussie. Adam and Joel Selwood were sucking down
a few Bud Lights. Keanan and Jon acted like two little girls and were too shy to
approach them, but they cleverly hid this from Malena by pretending they
thought it best to respect their privacy, and that the last thing the Selwoods
would want while on holiday in Austin was a couple of gushing footy fans
competing for their admiration and attention. The fact Jon and Keanan continued
to talk obsessively about the Selwoods well after they left the bar, and joked
about running hotel to hotel in search of them only proved their indifference
to the whole thing. Yep, that sounds right.
We
headed back to our hotel not before we received some advice from our local
homeless neighbours on what is good to see in the city.
We
then headed out to hear some great local musicians. Keanan was so excited, he
was bopping around like a little kid on a jumpy castle.
