Place-holder

Sorry for the delay in information - we have arrived in Austin as of Wednesday 8/11, but we won't have internet service in our home for another several days.  We have a great house to live in with more space than we have stuff for, and we are already halfway unpacked.  There is a swimming pool practically in our back yard, and I am across the street from where I'll be attending classes (only just far enough away that the wireless network doesn't quite reach my house!).  The heat is not quite so hellish as I had expected, and we are enjoying our new place. I'll be posting more of the travel journal and hopefully some links to our trip pictures when I can get to it.
