A PLAN WOULD BE NICE

Bob and I arriving at my daughters house in Austin, Texas
(I wasn't going to use this photo but Bob thought it showed his good side).

I have talked about doing this road trip for a very long time and you would think I would have made better plans. You know, things like, where to stay, how long to stay,who to stay with and other stuff like that.
Thank God I have great family, who lets me drop in and stay with them as long as I need to. As I get further and further away from my home base in Cleveland, Ohio the more I realize that I should have spent more time on the internet researching the things I plan to do while I am traveling. Instead of sitting on my butte, watching reruns of Walker, Texas Ranger I should have been on the net doing a little research. Hey, that's what life's all about. To live and to learn.
So now I have to work on the fly,and make some arrangements that will put me in one of the National Parks by January. After all, Ethel (you remember her, my mean sister) can't put me up forever.

What I'm trying to say here folks, is "don't be like me", do a little homework. If you do, your family won't have to pay for your mistakes.

That being said, lets move on to a few more photos around Austin and then on to California.

I'm sorry about that, I wanted to get a picture of the State Capital of Texas, but as you can see, someone wants to be in every shot.

That's better.

This is the Frost Building. I don't know why it's well known, but it is.

Austin, Texas skyline form the famous Congress Bridge. Why is it famous you ask? Because at dusk, millions of bats take wing to feed, they say if it were not for the bats, Austin would be over run with insects. People come from all over the world to see this amazing site.

If you want to watch the traffic or maybe catch a nice sunset, one of the best places in Austin to do that is over looking the 360 Bridge where it crosses the Colorado River.

It's been a wonderful time in Austin with my daughter my grandson and Clayton but it's time to move on. We're heading down the road. Bob and I will being traveling along Route 10 from Texas to California.

We'll keep in touch
