We finally arrived in Austin, Tx this afternoon after many days of driving. We drove to Springville on thursday to meet up with a friend and started driving friday morning at 3 in the AM. At about 1030 the car trouble started. Our friend's car started smoking and we pulled off to see what we could do. It ended up having to be taken into a shop and get fixed, taking till about 3 PM. In the mean while, we were exhausted. Preston fell asleep on some playground equipment, while I painted my nails. We had some lunch, waited, made some friends with a few spanish kids and attempted to give licorice to a homeless man. When our journey was able to start again, Preston and I were able to drive to Roswell, NM. We stayed in the nastiest place ever . . . there was seriously mouse poop by the toilet. But it was super cheap and we were really only there a few hours. The drive today was pretty uneventful. I learned that Texans will pull of the road to allow you to pass and it made me wonder why we don't do this in Utah. We made it to Austin this afternoon after stopping by a sweet mall in Bee Cove (actual name of town). We are currently staying at a hotel until our apartment is ready for us. We are exhausted, sick of eating out and I honestly don't want to get in the car again for at least another 12 hours . . . But it's warm here so I am pretty happy!
