WE"RE ON OUR WAY NORTH. FIRST STOP AUSTIN TX.

We left Paradise Park behind this morning. 


The trailers was all prepared.  Foil on all the windows, the fridge defrosted and propped open.  The slide is in and all the patio is put away until we get back late this year. 





And so we headed north, past the last of the Palm Trees we will see till we return.  We will continue to see Cactus, but the Palm Trees are a South Texas thing. 


It was a very relaxing drive.  There is nothing quite like driving through South Texas listening to Classic "Los Indios Tabajaras" on the stereo. 






We didn't have a long journey planned for today, as we are stopping in the Austin area for another visit with my cousin Carol and her husband Rick.  We have found a Motel 6 in Cedar Park, which is close to where they are in Lago Vista.  It is one of the "Re-Done" Motel 6's, which I'm kinda getting used to, as they are slowly changing them all. 


They are very stark and not exactly what you would call cozy, but at least they are still dog friendly. 





So tonight, we went over to Rick and Carols condo for dinner.  They are staying in a lovely condo  In a rolling hill area next to a large river system with lots of golf courses.  Very pretty. 


 
We had a wonderful evening and a lovely dinner.  Thanks guys. 
 
 
 
SO THAT WAS DAY ONE OF OUR JOURNEY HOME/
