Yet again I am stressed out, rushing to cover ground and missing neat stuff. I had to, yet again, blow through the Atchafalaya Basin and cajun country although the trip on the raised interstate over the bayous was pretty nifty. I had to pass up the exit to Shiner, TX and Gonzalez because of time. And after a long eight-hour drive all the way across Louisiana and halfway across Texas I am back in Austin. The runner-up contender for my next home town.
On the bright side, I got some really righteous, brother recommended Barbeque in Lockhart – birthplace of Texas BBQ. First time I ever actually enjoyed barbq brisket. Damned fine stuff.
And the tremendously tasty beans are the gift that keeps on giving. They say hello by the way.
