austin was our final stop and by favorite city by far. we rolled up around eight on wednesday, walked along one of the main drags, went to a creepy side show thing (too scary for me- it was all supernatural freaky deaky things), saw a tranny hooker in our search for a motel, saw the capital, hung out at all the cool vintage shops along south congress (soco), and ate delicious food from trucks. we had these cone things for lunch with chilli-dusted fries; then corrie and i split a michael jackson whipper snapper (chocolate cupcake with cream cheese icing and a shot of whipped cream inside) and we all got ice cream (mexican vanilla!). for dinner we went to tony's taco truck and dear god. i would move to texas for those tacos. i had a marinated pork one with avocado and pineapple chunks. heavenly. we had an awesome view of the city as the sun was setting and we befriended a toothless fiddle player named willie who told us hilarious jokes and played the fiddle for us. we gave him a few bucks before we left which he told us he'd spend on beer. my kind of man. then we went to gourdoughs and my plan to move to austin was solidified. gourmet donuts made my adorable nerd boys in an airstream trailer- and there's toppings. i got brownie batter, fudge icing, and fudge-covered brownie pieces on mine. no words. too good. i actually kissed the donut on the trailer because i was so in love. it was the perfect end to our time in texas.beyond that it's just a story of sweatpants, fast food, driving through the night, for long periods of time, in scary states- usual roadtrip stuff. it was completely worth all the time in the car. drrtty south roadtrip '10 was one for the books.
