Our move to Austin is almost done. We spent three days, well 2 and a half technically, on the road to Austin.
Day one, we drove from San Diego to Yuma. Not a bad drive. It only took about 3 hours.
Day two, we drove to El Paso. We were pretty surprised about the state of the city in El Paso. As you drive east on the 10 and you enter the city, right when you pass a large smoke stack on the south side of the 10, there appears to be what we can only describe as a shanty town. We didn't think there were shanty towns in America.
Day three, we made it to Austin after about 9 hours on the road. The geography you drive through changes a lot over those 9 hours. You start out in desert, then grassy plains, then rolling hills, then verdant hill country. But, at last we're in Austin.
Now, we've been hanging out in a hotel for the past couple of days. We actually got a pretty good deal at a La Quinta inn for only $80 with a AAA card. We're waiting for out furniture to show up now. We hope that it'll get here in the next couple of days.
There are a lot of things that we've noticed about our new city and I'll be posting about them in the coming days.
