Feb 5th- On our way to Austin

The rain had stopped before we left the Hotel on the west side of Houston and with the last 190 miles to go to get to Austin. It was mostly flat boring freeway and similar type roads but the closer we got to Austin the scenerey began to improve with a few hills.
Our plan was to do some shopping en route to by some wine and chocolates before arriving at our friends house John and Denise who live in Georgetown and very nice suburb of Austin. We arrived around three pm and spent the rest of the afternoon catching up before heading off to the Oasis Restaurant which overlooks Lake Travis.
There are beautiful views from the bar with some lovely houses and we watched the sun go down and took some photos.
We had a couple of drinks and some pre-dinner snacks before heading off to a Mexican Restaurant for dinner. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was very bright as it was Friday night.
A very good day indeed.
