So I have just returned from another successful trip to Texas to see Max. I miss him already! We had a fabulous time as usual. We spent the weekend in Austin, TX and the rest of the trip in Houston.
We arrived in Austin in the afternoon a little later than we had originally planned because Continental Airlines had neglected to put one of my bags on my flight that arrived Friday night. The second bag arrived the next morning and we went to the airport to pick it up then left from there to drive to Austin. After settling into our hotel, we drove to Lake Travis to a place called the Oasis. The Oasis is a bar/restaurant that overlooks the lake from the east side. This makes it ideal to watch the sun set over the lake. So that's why we went there. Unfortunately, it was really cold and the wind kept making it a bit worse. Max was really awesome for buying me a sweatshirt to keep warm in while we sat on the deck of the Oasis. The sunset was beautiful and well worth the trip (picture shown here). After that, we drove back to the hotel and got ready to go out to 6th street for the night. The first stop on 6th street was the Iron Cactus. We both had a margarita and sat at a table on the second floor overlooking the street. Max's margarita had jalapenos in it which was surprisingly tasty--haha! Then we made our way to another bar called The Library. That was a really fun place. There were lots of leather bound books and it reeked of rich mahongany--ok maybe not, but it was a cool bar. I tried to throw a penny into a girl's cleavage from the second level but I missed by almost a foot! Oh well, better luck next time! From there, we went to another bar that I can't remember the name of and took some photos in one of those photo booths. We had another drink, arm wrestled, and listened to a band play. We were going to look for a bar that my friend Bryant recommended for the end of the night but we gave up after walking only a block or two because I was stumbling over the bricks of the road--I was a bit tipsy. We ended up at a bar called Jax or Jazz or something like that. We ate some food and I got my finger pinched in the lock of the bathroom stall. Hmmm.... This bar had live music also. There was a dude playing piano then following him was a chick on acoustic guitar. It was an okay bar. Then we went back to the hotel. The following morning we ate at La Madeleine--which is fast becoming 'our place'. It was all very nice. Then we drove back to Houston.
The rest of my trip was spent in Houston and it was lovely. I hated leaving and I want to go back NOW! I will be returning to Houston for my spring break at the end of this month. Yay!

I got married down the road from the Oasis. In one of the bed and breakfasts, outside. The ceremony was at sunset overlooking the view. It is a beautiful scene. I'm glad you found that place, and that you had fun.
I am glad that you had a good time as well...I plan to get married at McDonald's just so you know...I think we may have discussed this before-with the janitor. Yes, the janitor. His name is Jesus, and even though he doesn't look a thing like JESUS, he talks like a gentleman....and really, that's what matters.
I believe I can fly. I have never been married and I never will, for money that is anyways, that would be wrong. That might even be badder than wrong... Like Badong!
Max, I asked around, and YES. They do hobosexual marriage in Germany. Just thought we could clear this up.
