Austin
Rich and I got on the road out of Harbingen (about twenty miles north of the border) about 9 AM, and driving north, stopped for barbecue at Joe Cotton's at around 11:30. Now that's what I call breakfast: ribs and brisket, potato salad, beans, pickles, and white bread! We arrived in Austin late Wednesday afternoon, earlier than planned. Said good-bye to Rich, and Bungey, his adorable Wheaton Terrior, as they have headed home to Massachusetts.
The weather here has cooled down into the eighties, after last week's temperatures of over a hundred. But the humidity and the temperatures are rising again. My hair is unmanageable! It was so smooth and straight in San Miguel. There must be a product for this puffy frizzball that has appeared on my head!
I took part in a writing workshop all day yesterday, and really enjoyed it. I like what I wrote.
My sister and I are going out for breakfast this morning to a place called Maria's Tex Mex Gospel Sunday, an Austin institution. After that, we're heading out to a friend's place, Martha, for a visit, and something about gellato was said. Martha's a wonderful person and artist, and she has a cute, elderly border collie, named Isabella. Some of you may have seen her (Martha's) artwork on cards I've given you.
After that, we're off to Charles' place, Mardi's boyfriend, for barbecue brisket. This is the same brisket I raved about last time I was here (well, not the exact same brisket) . I actually had the pleasure and good fortune to meet Steve, the brisket chef (along with his men's group at his church), the other evening, and was able to pass on my long and lengthy compliments in person.
I "roll into" Cassidy airport on Wednesday afternoon, and can't wait to see everyone.
Cheers, Jacquie

Hi Jacquie. Thanks for the wonderful tales of life in San Miguel. This is John, by the way, the scared-looking guy you met our first night in San Miguel. It was my first visit out of the US to a non-English speaking country. I stayed a week and you stayed a lifetime, or so it almost sounds. I've had three months to process my trip. In the meantime I went to Prague. (Still processing that one!). Mexicans, by comparison to Czechs, are warm and wonderful. I have good memories of people treating me with friendliness and kindness. Hopefully my next stay will be longer. Wishing you well on the next part of your journey. By the way, I just passed my 4 month anniversary!
