Day 2: Austin, TX

I slept incredibly well in the tent. I would have liked more than 5 hours of sleep, but at least I was up at 5:00 am and out of the house on time. First thing in the morning Broeder and I went to Mellow Johnny's and had breakfast. I had an egg, potato, and cheese taco and a Texas sized scone (which, as the name implies, was huge). I forgot my camera at the house so I didn't get a picture of it. At about 7:50 am the NBC Austin news crew showed up to interview Dr. Broeder and get footage of him riding. I used Broeder's digital video camera to film the filming of his interview. After that we went to a health food store and got some handcrafted Kombucha unique to Austin, TX (which was very good). With regards to eating, my prediction at the beginning of the trip was that I would either come home completely fat and out of shape because I ate every chance I got, or that I would come home emaciated but flabby because I wouldn't get enough to eat but wouldn't have time to work out. Right now I am teetering somewhere in between those two scenarios, because I ate dinner at around 5:30 yesterday (which is much earlier than normal) and went for a 40 minute run around the neighborhood that night, but I have been eating alot today (every chance I get). I have to do some work with Broeder now, so I will update again later today.
