Day 7 April 18 Sunday



Very, very heavy thunderstorm early this AM. We waited for it to pass before we left for Austin. We made a little detour to go to Dime Box, TX. Don’t ask – it’s related to some ongoing joke on Jack’s solosez attorney listserve about Bubba Leroy, Esq who has an office in a broken-down car behind the bar in Dime Box, TX. Couldn’t find it. HaHa. Picture is of "downtown". Saw lots of black angus and some horse farms along a very well paved but deserted two-lane highway – except for church folks. Lutheran is the predominant denomination in these parts.
We stopped for brunch as we neared Austin. We thought that because there were lots of cars late Sunday morning, it would be a good place. Mom’s Place in Tampa much, much better. We waited about 20 minutes and then it was served cold. Jack ate it anyway but I sent mine back. Another long wait. It can’t be good all the time and it wasn’t cheap.
There was a lot of traffic but we finally made it to the rv park which is 20 miles from downtown. With a stop for coke and water and registering, it was about 2:00 when we got all settled. So we will make our way downtown tomorrow. This is a new park, huge. Just did the laundry and we had Chinese food delivered. Very cloudy and only in the 60s all day.
