day to night, Houston to Austin

Today was a bit of a different day. It started out a little rough, as my time of the month promptly arrived, and Heather received some sad news that her grandmother has passed at 91. We decided to check out of the hotel and have a simple day. Well, if Houston wasn't full of crazy drivers who lack the skills to use a blinker, love to cut you off, and the insanity of interstate on top of freeway, on top of toll roads, then it could have been simple. But, it got better.

We found Rice University where we had a picnic snack. Then we found an art installation that was amazing! When we start getting pictures up, I will post those here! It was like twisted dreams of the sea and fairies meets a burn, meets wonderland full of caves. After seeing some of this great exhibit, we hooped outside for a bit, and were off to meet Heather's friend Rory to go to dinner.

We had dinner at a Vegan restaurant called the Loving Hut. Amazing! Pictures shall once again ensue. Good conversation and fun, and then we headed out on a late night drive to Austin. Made it here in about three hours, and now I am comfy on two air mattresses and in the home of a good friend of Heather's. And the puppy , Elliot Nibbler is adorable!

Not sure what tomorrow entails yet, but I know we have a show coming up, which means mula. :-) Probably will practice and explore the town.

My beau leaves with his father on his adventure tomorrow. That is exciting. I wish them well!

Until next time. This is Marla Mae, signing off.
