Day 16 - UT Tower, Segway! and...church?

Today we went to another hotel in Austin called "Holiday inn". We had to go on a Segway Tour by that hotel. A Segway is this machine that you can stand on. It has two wheels and a handle:


It is actually fast to learn how to control it. We went out in a area with a beautiful nature and also into the American neighborhoods. This was one of the poorer once. It is something you would not see anywhere in Denmark like this.
In the learning process:


At the end, we are about to race each other:


AMerican house, all ready for Halloween which is next weekend: (our American teacher Jennifer has her hotel room filled with Halloween stuff:-P)


Afterward we went into one of the campus areas in Austin, to go up into the UT Tower. It is the highest tower together with the capitol building(which we are going to see this week too) in Austin. It has been a campus library some years back, and has a beautiful view over Austin:-)

Some view from UT:


The statium where their precious football team Longhorns play. Their t-shirts are all over town and they are in a tournament now. It is going pretty well:


The special sign for the Longhorns team is actually the Rock n' Roll handgesture(performed here by president Bush, who is from Texas and has been the governor of Texas):


And this is their logo which is everywehere as mentioned before:


Morten and i had once again planned to go to church this time to an evening service, but the churches homepages is not always trust able:-P So there were no service. We wandered a bit to figure out if any of the other churches had something, but without any luck. Instead some guys who i found a bit creepy pulled up beside us and started to say "hey baby" and stuff like that! - luckily Morten was the one who were walking by the road, and he did the talking. They asked where we were going and he said home and they asked where that was and he said Denmark, and then they offered us a ride there...haha, they had no idea where it is:-P
They disappeared for a while but came back still saying all this things! really creepy! - It is not the first time at our stay here. They are not afraid of giving you comments like that here, sometimes it is a bit too much:-) I am just happy that i am here with 16 guys! - Well we got away from them, a creepy, but also funny experience:-P

The rest of the night we were reading. We have a book that our literature teacher has written that we need to read. And also 3 novels for tomorrow. The writer for two of them will come tomorrow and talk about them.
