The digestion of the burger was done by going for a hike to this abandoned railway-tunnel. A cool place that is now a kind of like a State-park, with official parking, seating and paths to all the things you wanna see about bats. Wish we had time to wait until nightfall to see that spectacle of who-knows-how-many-thousand bats flying out of this tunnel and eat 14 tons of insects, thats what the sign said but also that will happen in the summertime, now it is too early for all the bats to be here because not enough food for them yet. Sharon told me that in the old days they used to climb the fence and then crawled around to find that tunnel and watch them bats go out at sunset, a very interesting place, Alamo Springs.
The Bat-colony, and a cool car on the parking lot...
We had to leave, Sharon wanted to go to her yoga class and then we all go to this firing party of a friend of Judy to watch a firing done in the old way, reach 2400°F with a wood-fire,sounds like a challenge to me. Unfortunately I failed taking pictures there, just a goofy one where Sharon blows smoke...
We didn't stay long, back at Judy's I tried to get some more work on this blog done, do all the packing, then hit the hay early to get-up before 5 in the morning.
I did make it out of bed by quarter to 5, fixed a tea, through the rest of my stuff in the car and off I go. It's gonna be a long drive to Lafayette, Louisiana.
Dawn in Austin, Sunrise somewhere on Rt-71, Freeway-mace in Houston, and industrialization in Louisiana...
I missed all the traffic through Austin, then almost no traffic through Houston and by 2 o'clock I was in Lafayette, sitting at Dwyer's Cafe and have lunch while waiting for Lee to meet me here, ahh it's good to be back in Lafayette, but boy I'm kind o' fried...
Arriving at one of my favorite lunch-spots in Lafayette...
Lunch with Lee, then on the the place I'll spend the night...
