Austin & San Antonio

It was Game 4 for the NBA playoffs between Spurs (San Antonio) and Hornets (New Orleans) at San Antonio so we decided to make a trip to back to Austin to catch up with John's frens, besides watching the game live.


Touchdown @ Austin.

The weather in Austin is pretty much similar to Malaysia. It has a higher level of humidity compared to Phoenix. John did not like it too much cos he doesnt like the sticky feeling on his skin - which surprised me because he worked in Austin for 9 years. How can he stayed there for so long if he doesnt like it at all?

Anyways, we set up a luncheon with Kenny and Deotis @ Chuys, their favourite Mexican restaurant in Austin. The restaurant provides free flow of tortilla chips... anyone, i meant ANYONE can eat it. We had a few basket of tortilla chips while waiting for our table and I must say, I was 2/3 full even before i ordered my food. -____-

Brianna, Deotis and April.

This is the first time i met Kenny and Deotis families. They are a bunch of nice people and coincidently, both of them (black men) married white women. McKenlee is very cute and pretty - cant stop smilling. *hugz*

The next day, we drove for 2 hours to San Antonio for the Spurs game. There are a lot of people going for the game, as expected but we bought a very good seat - closer to the court.

The game started!

The Spurs won that nite! It was amazing watching the team won at home court - the fans were incredible. We were happy too, so we went to the River Walk, one the famous places in San Antonio for a small celebration. We had some drinks at SWIG and guess what? We saw someone familiar, a face that we always see on TV at any basketball game. It was Jim Goldstein - the basketball superfan! He has a very unique taste in fashion because you will always see him with long gray hair and wears leather jackets, hats and interesting boots. You can never miss him if you see him on the street! More info about him at Wikipedia.

Before we left San Antonio back to Austin to catch our flight, we went to The Alamo - another famous tourist attraction here.

It was a nice getaway...
