Theo and theTaqueria

We left Austin on Sunday morning after a Saturday evening spent in at Doug and Celina's:  made pizza and played Texas Hold 'em with spare change (I won).  We got on the road about 9am and made Houston a little before noon.  We got a hold of Theo (cousin) when we were about 60 miles outside, and made arrangements to meet him for lunch at Goods Taqueria on our way through Houston.  It was packed with the Sunday/Fathers day crowd, but the lunch counter style setup proved very efficient (and the enchiladas were delicious).

We spent about an hour catching up with Theo before we got back on the road towards New Orleans.  The trip was split between highway (I-10) and back road (182) which slowed us down a bit but was well worth the ability to drive with the windows down and enjoy the steamy hot breeze. we arrived at Caroline's (below) house around 8 pm, got settled, and headed to Juan's Flying Burrito in her lower garden district neighborhood for dinner (I had the pork and slaw tacos - very good).

This stop is our first stop longer than 3 days (we'll be here six) and we're excited to settle and and really get a feel for the city before we head out for Savannah on Saturday.
