Day 2 in Austin, Day 1 in Miami

After a crazy Thursday night in Austin, we all woke up with a mutual need for swimming. We had been advised by people we met at the bar to go to Hamilton Pool, so that was where we decided to go. After we found out that it was closed we decided to go to Barton Springs, which is a large man pool with water from a natural cold spring. Tyler cooked breakfast for us and we went to the pool. We were there for the better part of the day, finally having a period of relaxation after 10 days of constant movement.
For dinner we went to a local barbecue stand and had huge plates of beef brisket, beans, potato salad and bread for 6 dollars.

After dinner we drank a bottle of Malbec and some Lonestar (Lonestar is the local equivalent of Busch light). Then we went out for a second night of tearing up Austin. This time it consisted of whiskey shots and tall boys. There were no roommate on roommate fist fights. When we got home, we made tacos and went to bed.

Yesterday we woke up and went straight to the airport, and had a direct flight to Miami, where we are right now. We got in at 3 o'clock yesterday and spent the rest of the day watching football. Our host, Amanda Rouse, cooked us dinner and then we played a long yet intense game of Uno. We then went to the bars for some drinking, dancing and other nonsense. When we got home, we went for a swim in Amanda's pool and went to bed. Miami pictures are on the way.
