roadtripping part 3

okay all...
this is my last night before i leave the west coast. in california, but didn't make it out to los angeles before dark...
i have been absolutely humbled by the beauty and kindness of strangers on this trip.

after austin, we stayed a night in amarillo, tx. dinner was amazing...i had bbq brisket at the country barn. check out their menu.

there is also an incredible donut shop there, called...the donut shop. i didn't get one of these for breakfast, but in hindsight should've.

the weather in texas was miserable; i have never seen so much fog in my life! but as we neared the border with new mexico, things started looking up.

we skirted through to the painted desert. let me just say that if you have the opportunity to come here, DO. it took my breath away many times.
