Day 7 - Rob/Eleanor


Back west on I10, through miles and miles of oil refineries south of Houston, across the town in early peak traffic and three hours north back to Austin. 

Went to Spincycle Washeteria to catch up on a weeks washing for a few hours; luckily there was a Starbucks around the corner. Clean clothes folded up, we made our way to the University of Texas to the LBJ presidential museum and library, I thought it would be OK - It turned out to be the surprise hits of the whole trip so far! For eleanor too! There was a fantastic 1960s rebellion display (left and right wing) and a very impressive white house/oval office mock up on the 10th floor. Chucked out at closing time, we came away big fans of LBJ and lady bird. 

Went downtown and hung out at South Congress bridge to see the bats flying around as the sun set. back up Red River street for a Mexican dinner near the famous (but too long dinner wait!) Stubbs BBQ. 

Hit the pillow, at an airport hotel, before another big brilliant day.
