Austin, Texas

Saturday we drove from Hondo to Riverbend RV park just outside Luling, TX. We are a little closer to Austin here. Sunday we had a lazy day and caught up on some chores. We did go into town and eat BBQ. Finally getting into a part of the country where they don't think BBQ is anything cooked on a grill. It was pretty good.

Monday we drove into Austin, only about 40 miles. Found our way to the Capitol building and took a guided tour. It is a very pretty building and of course being in TX it is Big. After a stop at the nearby visitor center we headed out for lunch. Had seen a place on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives we wanted to try. We found Maria's Taco Express. It is a very interesting place and the food was good too.

After lunch we made our way to the LBJ Library. It is the only Presidential Library that is free. That was a mandate by President Johnson. It is a quite a big place and has lots of interesting displays. We finished up there and made it out of town before rush hour traffic started. We had a very enjoyable day.
