Glimpse on Austin IV

What's next buddies? More foods obviously!! Texas Bar-B-Q is so famous. Although I seldom take meat, I will never miss REAL Texas BBQ. Ruby's country store is highly recommended by local people.



Pork ribs and sausages



The meats were medium cooked, juicy inside. It tasted even better with homemade BBQ and hot sauce. Hmmmmm...This restaurant was so organic and filled with 80's Texas feel. You might have a chance to see REAL cowboy riding on his house and grasping for his foods.

I won't bother if you're bore with all these Texas posts, still have more to go. Where are we? Ohh ya, Texas night life. SXSW (South by South West) music festival was awesome! Rock bands and alternative musics rocked our entire night.



What a crowd, it was so packed! And there was a long queue at the main entrance still. So, I bet you don't need further explanation about how well the bands were.

Dominick, can you stay sober for just a second? I need a nice shot.

We hang out till 2a.m with all my hubby's colleagues and bosses. Such a great time~~ Cool music, awesome friends and free drinks... what's more can I ask for?


An Italian wake-up breakfast. Yup, my stomach asked for more foods, one last time before I left Austin.


Bread with olive oil as starter


Creamy mushroom soup


Italian pasta for him. I forgot what was that called.


My Italian pizza. Forgot its name as well. Forgive me dude.

That was our last day in Texas. It's time to go home~~


What the hell Beverly? That's it?



Of course not... Ready for the next boom!

Texas is subject to 8.25% sales tax. That means, add an additional 8.25% on whatever you see on the price tag. I know some other states have even higher tax but I don't see any point to pay more since Portland is sales tax free. Unsurprisingly, that's the only reason I shopped less.

Phewwww...I'm done with the Texas trip!!
This time for real.
