not laboring a bit (part A)
we had some friends from Baltimore in for the holiday weekend. went straight to guero's
introduced them to tacos al pastor and freshly made, hand shaken margaritas. most of the margaritas I've had on the east/west coasts are way too sweet and used bad tequila. many people here refer to austin as the "third" coast.
although she normally refuses to eat meat, she had three. they are that good.
walked up mount bonnell.
of course we stopped at hula hut and had those mexonesian shrimp flautas
part of the allure for our red bud island float is the twinkie allowance.
suited up and ready to let the current take us down stream.
a problem with taking a camera in the water is that the lens is often blurry/soft from being wet.
had dinner at home.
vanessa proudly sporting her WILCO shirt. we have tickets to see them in a few weeks, looking forward to that, we are. always a great show. my wife and I first saw wilco over ten years ago in a small venue south of baltimore, my daughter went along in unborn form.
thanks to Michael and Vanessa for having some delicious treats shipped in from Murray's Cheese Shop on bleecker street. we'll let you know how the lardo is. and thanks to Jason and Holly for hauling us those olives back from greece.
just as my doctor ordered, I am still eating loads of salmon. got a HUGE side from the whole foods flagship store located just blocks from the location of the original whole foods store.
Michael made this delicious peach, and calamari steak salad.
