I visited Austin at the beginning of the summer to get away from my studies and visit my good old friend Monica.  "Welcome to my apartment!"

Monica's wet ass.

Dave, Monica's roommate.

Going for some cool drinks on a hot day.

Truth or Dare Jenga

A dare to blow a raspberry on Dave's tummy.

The first appearance of Tim, Monica's boy hunk.

He's from New Zealand, and therefore is 10x sexier.  Of course he works for a tech company, so these effects cancel.

"Grrr.."

"Hey, baby."

Monica through the glass.

Jason climbing on the University of Texas Fountain.

Jason on said fountain.

We saw an owl outside and he let me take three pictures of him with the flash (this being the least boring.)

Old pals.

We look fat in this door.

We went up to the top of the UT Tower, which was closed for the longest time because some guy shot a lot of people and other people kept jumping off of it.

A nice view of campus.

Monica taking the same picture.

The clock.

The capitol where W used to work.

Monica and I bought new shoes.

Monica's sister sent her this stuff.

We visited the capitol.  It's not quite as tilted in person.

The obligatory picture of the dome.

The house floor.

From this pit they built behind it.

Monica and I went swimming in this little river pool.

It was fun to slide down the rocks...

So Monica wanted to try it.

And she did.

But it wasn't fun for her.

So we drove to the top of this hill overlooking the river....

on which rich people lived.

"Ah, my new home."

"Monica's new home."

what?

The hike back down.

Helicopter above us.

Hair wax for the gay bar.

My sad, final meal in Austin.

"Oh, but we'll miss you so!"

"Yeah...  Whatever."

Ohhhh.....

One last group picture.

Oh, and the traffic lights are all sideways there.
