Day 1 - Austin downtown and Duck Tour!


Today we had a information barbeque-party at the pool at noon. Very nice:-) We meet our first two americans on this trip. First Kathy who gave us a briefcase with information about what we are going to see this month and how to get there and everything, very cool! - She works on ACC(Austin Community College), and is the one we can call in case we need help to figure out something:-) The other american Ellie too worked on ACC and told us a bit about Austin and the things we can visit.

Later on we took a couple of buses to get to downtown Austin. There we went on a "Duck Tour". We got some very weird duck beak which could make this very high sound if you blow in it:-P Just like those you can buy for new years eve. The we went for a ride in the duck, which drove into the water. On the tour the driver gave information about the city.




When we where finished, we had the rest of the day to explore at Austin. So me, my classmates: Morten and Kasper decided to do so. We ended up in a Mexican restaurant for dinner, called: "Iron Cactus". Very nice. The vaitor was very cool! - He had long hair and was alternative, and he spotted my tattoo which ended in him giving me a card to a good tattooist, showing me his nice tatto! and giving me an address of a band that he was promoting and managing. - So that was pretty cool:-)

We went home to the hotel and after wards went to the local supermarket to buy what we needed. We had a very nice evening after wards were we were talking, hanging out at the pool and so on:-)

It has been a really great day! - We experience so many things so it feels like we have been here for days already! - It is really cool:-) We can not do anything else than just take one day at a time. It is hard to get an overview of everything we have to do this month:-P
