From Carlsbad we headed southward, into Texas. We took the back roads, since the Interstate is nowhere near Carlsbad. We stopped in Fort Stockton and took our pictures with Paisano Pete, the giant roadrunner statue. We found the interstate, and got to drive legally at 80 mph all the way to Sonora Texas. Stayed at a decent Best Western hotel, walked to Dairy Queen for dinner as there isn't a lot of there there.
Next morning, we left Sonora and took the Interstate for a few miles then drove small roads thru the hill country to Austin. We drove thru Harper, Fredericksburg, and Johnson City, all worth a return visit. Someday.
Once we got to Austin, the plan was to do some laundry since we were way early for hotel check in. The Laundromat we chose (based on GoogleMaps) turned out to be under construction. So, we went to TechShop and got a tour and talked to some of the staff. Once our hotel room was ready, we checked in, got some dinner, then spent an hour or more at Michael's buying christmas card making supplies. We finally got time to do laundry back at the hotel, where we also did some card making planning.
