Austin Day 3

Ok, day 3 was awesome. We drove to Wimberley, TX.

Why, you ask? well, that's where we went to Texas' only commercial olive grove! Yep, that's right, we went to the Mediterranean of Texas. We took a tour of the farm, took some pictures and listened to Jack as he told us all about olives and olive oil.
then we tasted. Man was that stuff ever good! Some really great olive oil there and some incredibly amazing balsamic vinegar too. yeah, he makes wine while he's at it too. fun stuff, truly. Wine was so-so, but the rest was top-notch.
After the tour, we hit Wimberley proper and went to a small café called The Leaning Pear. nice place, good lemonade. It's a dry county after-all... AARRGGHH! Had a wonderful meal despite and the sun finally came out for a peek. Took some great photos of the resto too. What a lovely place.
Had Bison for dinner. Yummy.

Austin Day 2

ok, I'm a little lazy... I'm just not much of a writer.
Austin Day 2: went to the market. yup, the farmer's market. Bought some grass-fed bison, a bison-hide wallet, some grass-fed lamb, some free-range pork, some Swiss chard and some whatchamacallits. also got some other cool things for the week. What a cool experience that was to walk around the market in Austin. And Matty thought there was nothing like that here! what a guy.
After the market... errrr, not much of anything really. It was pretty windy, pretty cold. We stayed in, watched the Sens' game. I took a nap. We just relaxed all of us together!

sweet.
