I have never been to a presidential library before, so I convinced John we should go to the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library on the Univ. of Texas campus. As we are signing in, we are told that the only thing open in the Library is the reproduction of the Oval Office. The rest of the museum is being renovated and won't reopen until Dec. 22! We did get to visit a trendy neighborhood and found a nice place to buy some unique cheeses. We also found a fun hardware store. It was more a toy and Xmas store than hardware. Then we drove back to the RV and walked about 10 blocks to another barbecue joint.
Austin is known for its food trucks. There are over 2000 licensed mobile eateries throughout the city. This was one of them called La Barbecue, Cuisine Texecana. We had the brisket and a pork rib and both were good. The rib was better than Franklin's. On our walk back we stopped at a chocolate food truck and got some tasty cake-pops. We then went past the RV park and stopped at Billy's Brew and Que where we sampled some locally brewed beers.
The rest of the afternoon was spent doing laundry and chores. Tonight we are going to a sushi bar -- one of the best in the city -- called Uchi. It is only two blocks away so, of course, we're walking! That should put us at about 5 miles today!
