From Big Bend, it was off to Austin...
...home of my fantastic friend HP and her equally fantastic husband, KP. Icing on the cake: SR had arranged to come to Austin for work for the week, so we just had a big 'ole party. (This picture taken at Barton Creek/the Greenbelt.)
I also got to reconnect with sweet college friend E, who is working on her PhD and doing amazing community organizing work in her East Austin neighborhood.
She took me down the block to a food truck pod for a delicious Peruvian lunch.
HP had a work conference in San Antonio for part of the week, so I tagged along with her and, while she was in conference sessions, got to check out the Alamo…
…and the RiverWalk.
HP, KP, SR, and I also had some great walks together, including an afternoon stroll (with silliness) around the Ladybird Lake hike & bike trail.
Also, Enchanted Rock State Park. Wow.
Through it all, we ate and ate and ate really great food. A sausage place on Rainey Street called Bangers, TacoDeli, Asia Café, and--even better than all the others--KP's creative culinary creations, including creamy tomato soup with grilled cheese/apple/pear/basil sandwiches. What a treat. And what friends!
