This is a picture of the thousands of people who gather every night each summer to watch the bats fly out from underneath the congress bridge in Austin, Texas. We brought beer and bread and cheese and waited until it got just dark enough. When they came out they flew so fast it was like a warm rip tide of fluttering fabric in the sky. The following is a picture I found online of what it looks like under the bridge - cozy! By the way, besides bats Austin seems like a pretty cool place to live, but you can already feel the yuppie types taking over. Ragnar and I had a beer at the new tiniest bar in austin. The sign said puppet show skinny puppy two dollars. We thought we were going to get a two dollar skinny puppy puppet show. Alas, only the great joy of two dollar drinks! We also ate at this fancy italian restaurant, where the cook mistook Ragnar for a local purveyor of sorts, so we got all kinds of free food even though we kept insisting that he had the wrong guy. So far Ragnar's been mistaken for a small town celebrity everywhere we go! Even though it'd be impossible to look anything like him. Best traveling companion ever!

YES! I think Maureen was telling me about that bridge. Those bats are beautiful... They look just like my new friend Lopez, who you will see when you get home. I am so glad you're having fun, but I want you to VIDEO CONFERENCE! xoxo.
