DAY 11: Austin

We stayed at Paula's Uncle Fred's house while we were in Austin. We arrived in the evening of day 10, had a big party for Tessa, complete with a deeply sinful chocolate cake ordered by her parents and picked up by Uncle Fred(or Uncle Frank, as JM calls him)

On Day 11, we went to downtown Austin and walked around. We visited the Mexic-Arte museum, a mexican and mexican american art museum that was pretty interesting. They had photographs from the mexican revolution, and we learned a little more about mexican history, Pancho Villa and Zapata.

While we were out, our trailer was getting repaired. John and noah, while doing chores in the morning, notice that one of our trailer's wheels has blown away all its bearings and was riding on nothing but the axle. Considering how potentially dangerous it could have been, coming into Austin during rush hour, we were glad nothing naughty happened on the drive. After a ton of phone calls, we got it towed and repaired, and by the time we were done with our trip downtown, the trailer was repaired. All ready to go for our drive to New Orleans on day 12.
