I knew the time would come when I would have to say goodbye to this amazing city. I just hate that it came so soon, especially because it actually felt colder in Atlanta when I left on Sunday than it feels here. I could devote an entire post to the weather alone. Sigh…
Sadly, I will likely make the local news later, since law enforcement will probably have to drag me out of The Brown Palace Hotel & Spa against my will.
I’ve fallen in love with the city so much that I might not even mind an extended stay in the Denver County Jail after resisting arrest. Hopefully, they’ll let me Tweet, Facebook, and blog from my cell, because I have so much to share from my adventure. Stay tuned. And cross your fingers that the warden allows me to use my computer from slammer.
As my trip comes to an end, it seems that I saved the best for last. One thing that I wanted to experience was Austin’s good BBQ. My dinner at Stubb’s was the perfect capstone. Even though they were out of their Monday special, BBQ Beef Ribs (I was dissappointed about that), I did order the pork ribs with mac n cheese, and mashed sweet potatoes. And I can’t forget the sweet tea. SMH… talk about good. I was in hog heaven. Special thanks to Amanda Garcia, the Austin Convention & Visitors Bureau for hanging out with me.
Part of Austin’s appeal to me (other than the food of course – ha) is the kindness of its residents and the beauty of the city. These are some shots I took today… just because. Enjoy!
