Holiday Shopping

Today we got up early to drive down to San Marcos Outlet Center for shopping. Since people are getting crazy when it comes to shopping some stores already opened at midnight. We arrived there around 8am, on hour later as planed. It was fun to stroll through the some hundert shops again, but by noon it was the perfect choas. Lines and messed up stores everywhere. However, we fought on until 5pm, when we left to have dinner at Austin´s best BBQ: The Salt Lick. As say have BYO alcohol we stoped at a gas station, to pick up some of the true to texas stuff. We arrived there around six and where suprised to face a 40 - 50 min wait. Well, what can you do right. So we sat there for a little while with, I guess, another 50 people waiting to get stuffed. Anyway, cars just kept coming into the lot. One after another. So at the time we fianlly got in, the wait had increased to over 2 hours! Imagine, you arrive hungry as hell and the one has to wait that long. No one could get my name on that list. When we returned home, quiet tired and of course close to burst, I missed my good friend "Willi".
