Breaking the rules in Texas
 Join our Facebook Group
After a brief stop in Houston, we headed for Austin. Little did we know that we would be greeted by 1.3 million bats, hairy arm pits and 104 degrees.
Always making sure that we have enough gas – and that we know where we are going (that was sarcastic)
A little break on the way to practise our tex mex eating and riding skills.
Our lovely motel was located on the hipster street south Congress.
Bianca and Katarina feeling really crazy after happy hour with $3.50 margaritas.
Group shot with Katarina’s friend Wendy, who moved to Austin from NYC a few years back.
We started with a tour of the capital. After breaking all the rules on every sign we decided to go outside and enjoy the 104 degrees again…
Wendy showed us around town and took us to the cool diner Magnolia for some – yes, of course beans, rice and beer.
Group shot again – heehaw!
After sweating our asses off all day, we decided to do some yoga outside – and get 15 new mosquito bites.
Time to eat again. Some real meat!
Bianca is mighty happy.
Bianca stayed happy until she realized that 1.3 million bats live under a bridge in Austin – and that everyone leaves at dawn to go hunting…
So we had to park her.
The bats where everywhere. It was almost like a horror movie.
Next day we went vintage shopping. Jackie almost bought a new hat pet.
Bianca almost bought a new dress.
Kjersti bought these cool shades…
We visited one of the coolest vintage stores “Amelias retro vogue and relics” on 2213 s. 1st street. The owner Jane A. Clarke has been running the store for over 20 years.
She had some amazing pieces in her store. Everything from the 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s. Real vintage, in other words.
Another ice cream break.
Time for a swim. At Barton Creek natural pool you can chill, swim and look at hard core hippies spreading their wings and throwing off their bikini tops.
We caught this little pervert spying on us from under the bushes.
Killing some more time between meals… that’s what it’s all about.
Last meal together. Bye bye Jackie -and bye bye Katarina. Now it’s only Bianca and Kjersti left.
We are off to improve our cowboy skills in the tiny city of Bandera – the cowboy capital of the world. Stay tuned…
