I am in Austin
For the next 4 days I will be eating and drinking my way through Austin.
I will post pictures of the view from my room. It is pretty spectacular. I am pretty sure the room is going to cost more than the rest of the trip combined.
We came to a complete stop where the two 35s merged, and did not see a wreck. As you might imagine, 35 is still under major construction for 50% of the trip, and in Hillsboro (where the merge is), were were probably stopped for them to do some construction thing. Luckily it was only 20 minutes or so and the rest of the trip was uneventful.
I will post more of my thoughts on the Four Seasons later, but they seemed extremely busy when we walked in.
