Day in Austin, March 7

We drove up to Austin again last Saturday, this time to have lunch and spend time with Dave's former student Dusty Schroeder and his wife Kaley. They're graduate students at UT-Austin. Katie insisted on starting the day as a princess -- here she is leaving our apartment in the morning.

We got to see a little more of the fun and funky town this time -- lunch at a brewpub, a walk in what had to be an ancient riverbed (now all rocks, very fun to scramble around on -- see Katie's smile?), and cupcakes from an airstream trailer with an enormous pink-frosted cupcake on top. Yes, Ingrid, we did get there! We were very proud of Katie; she tripped spectacularly twice but got back up both times. Her knees are now purple and yellow with scabs; she likes that they look good with her Curious George band-aids.

It was great to see Dusty and Kaley again, and we had a good time all day. We hope to see them in San Antonio sometime soon.
