First day in Austin, TX

My flight was pretty uneventful, only about 1/3 full so I stretched out in seats 14-A, B, and C. Broeder met me at the airport and took me to see University of Texas-Austin and their amazing Physiology labs. Benedictine may have a nice lab and some cool equipment, but this place has many nice labs with lots of cool equipment. The pool (or natatorium as Broeder called it) was also amazing (amazingly large). After that we went to Lance Armstrong's bike shop (Mellow Johnny's), then got lunch at a Tex-Mex restaurant called Chuy's. Now I am at the house where we are staying and I'm mildly stressed because Broeder seems really stressed about some special clothing that he received that wasn't what he ordered. Broeder also mentioned that tonight I will be sleeping outside in the tent to "get acclimated to sleeping in the heat." I guess if I'll be sleeping in a tent for 3 weeks, what difference does 1 extra day make?

The Natatorium

The Natatorium
This was the swimming pool complex at University of Texas-Austin. Everything's bigger in Texas...
