Austin is an eating town. There is soo much food here and alot of it is pretty damn good too. Chuy's, Jardin's, Maudies, Pokey Joes.
Our shopping trips have taken us to the likes of the Apple Store (iPhone/iPod replacement), Fry's Electronics (camera stuff), REI (gaters, DEET, first aid kit, etc). It's kinda been a shopping spree although we are returning a fair amount stuff that isn't working as planned. Hey I guess we are just doing the holiday presents a bit early seeing as we have no idea where we'll be when those days arrive.
Friday our tires, spare tubes and big honkin' tire levers arrived and I think we will be all set with the rear tires until we get back to the states; the MEFO Explorers are pretty burly. Changing the tires went pretty smoothly, the second much faster than the first of course. It's just like changing a bicycle tire, just much wider tire and stiffer sidewall. Nothing 10 inches of tire lever can't take care of...

Colin and Jamie: I'm really enjoying your travel log - informative and entertaining. As you travel along, I'd be interested in your comments on global warming - sometimes called global weirding (a term coined by Hunter Lovins). What do you observe or hear from people about the weather - typical or different? The NY Times has a interesting article today about how the apparel industry is affected and some creative responses. While you're at it look at Tom Friedman's editorial who quotes The Onion about the disappearance of fall.
I'm glad that you have a chance to visit the Johnsons. What a great place to land with a chance to meet baby Sophie and to offer some comfort to Aunt Nancy after Grandma’s passing last week. Give them all a hug for me.

Nancy & I thoroughly enjoyed the visit from the bikers. Great conversations w/ two intelligent, adventuresome dudes.
