TRIP: Austin

Our Trip to Austin started on Friday morning. Pretty early since I took a shower and still had to pack my things. It was actually my hostmom's work trip, but she was able to took me and Adriana with her. So in the morning we all got ready and left the house 9:30am. It was over 3 hour drive to Austin. We stopped in Schlotzsky's for lunch. We all had chips and sandwiches and again, a new place for me. Before arriving to Autsin my Hostmom dropped us off at the Outlet mall since she had to go to the meeting. The mall was nice. Basically you were walking outside and it was like a little street through the shopping places. At some point of time we got drinks and some cookies from my favorite cookie place and sat down for a little bit. 3 hours later hostmom met us there again, we bought all the things we wanted and drove to the hotel. It was a reallllly nice Hilton hotel and superbig! We were on 17th floor, but our view was on the highway so nothing too extraordinary haha, but still cool! In the hotel we kind a just fixed our make up, changed clothes and went back outside. We met Teresa (One of my hostmom's best friends) on the corner of the street. She was waiting for us, we all went on a dinner to the bar which was right across from the hotel. We ended up ordering just some fries and that was it. And now I'm just gonna copy my hostmom's fb post here since she practically described the whole night there:


''Took the girls to 4th and 6th street. Happened to be Biker Rally in 6th so the streets were packed with motorcycles and bikers. Started at Waller Creek Pub for beverages and snacks then hit the streets walking. Stopped at Voodoo Donuts for a snack. Got a slice of late night pizza to share. Adriana Ismaili sang karaoke in an Irish pub.''

There were hundreds of motorcycles and the street was very crowded. Everybody was drunk, lol. There was live music in most of the bars and restaurants so it created the mood pretty well! A little bit before midnight we walked back to the hotel. I was so tired but it was pretty amazing night, was cool to see what the night life there is like. 

Saturday morning we woke up at like 9am maybe? Got dressed, drank coffee and got ready to head out. We crabbed some croissants and more coffee from the cafe next to out hotel and enjoyed our breakfast by the river(Mom you would've liked it ;)).After that we just chilled in our hotel room for a little bit and when it was time to check out we packed our bags and went down to the reception. We drove to The Bullock Texas State History Museum. The building was pretty and there was a huge Texas Star in front of the Museum. It had 3 floors of stuff to look at and was pretty cool and interesting. In the morning I found out that Marca was in Austin at the same time and we were texting and calling, trying to figure out how to meet. When I was in the Museum she was in the Capitol, which was basically next to the Museum so we were trying sooooo hard to meet haha. Whenever we finally left from the Museum we decided to drive by the Captiol. Unfortunately there was one road closed so me and Marca ended up NOT meeting, that was sad. Before leaving from Austin we stopped at Voodoo Donuts again, me and Adriana both got one. Our next stop was in Dripping Springs where we had lunch at that one BBQ place. Before starting to drive back home we went to Deep Eddie Vodka, it's like a famous Vodka made in Texas, the place was full of people and the end of the ordering line was outside the building. My hostmom just bought some signs and we continued driving. We took different road when driving back and on our way we stopped by Arch The Texas and Brewing Co. Arc The Texas was on top of a hill and it was also a hotel type thingy. Me and my hostmom went on the roof terrace and the view was AMAZING! It was so so pretty and we just took bunch on pictures up there. After this we just stopped in several gas stations for snacks and ate dinner at a Malt shop. 

And that was it for the drip, it was nice and I think it was an awesome one! :)
