Fri, Mar 18 (Austin TX)

03.18.05

We woke up this morning (OK, it was Late morning) feeling pretty well, and headed off to Austin Java for lunch before driving around. Brenda says this is now her favorite restaurant here. We headed west toward Fredericksburg and followed the signs to the (Ladybrd Johnson) Wildlife Center. Not much was in bloom, but it was still a pleasant place. We stayed there long enough that we decided not to head to Fredericksburg today.

We headed back toward Tom and Mary’s, stopping off at the new downtown Whole Foods to pick up some supplies. That is one impressive store. We also stopped off at Fry’s Electronics on the way back to pick up a new disk drive for one of Tom’s computers. We also learned that the pictures will be ready by 3pm Saturday – if we leave before then we’ll have them mail the pictures back to us.

Doron is also visiting Tom and Mary this weekend (Doron worked with Tom and Harlan at Trilogy here in Austin, several years ago), and we all chatted a bit in the evening.

We’re surprised at how tired we got after walking around the wildlife center – Brenda is considering taking another day to try and regain more energy (several friends have said they had this bug, and while they got over their symptoms in 2-3 weeks’ time, it took longer for them to get back to full strength).

Brenda and Harlan finished their laundry and began preparing to leave. If we feel up to it we’ll take off tomorrow (Saturday), otherwise we’ll see how we feel on Sunday.
