Another day of no pictures.  We had a number of things to accomplish that were not tourist-oriented: grocery shopping, fixing a leaky plumbing hose in the trailer, change the oil in the van, update the web site, etc., so we set off into Austin.  Jody had a book that listed health food stores all over the country, so we navigated to the area of the University of Texas and found the food co-op.  Conveniently located across the street was "Xpresso Lube", where Doug and Jordan got the oil changed and the radiator flushed while Jody and Joya bought $270 worth of organic food (one grocery cart, about 1/2 full).  After that, we found a Kinkos that would let us use their phone line, and uploaded a bunch of new pages and photos to the web site -- this took an hour.  Next was a stop at the Barnes and Noble for book shopping.  Finally we headed back to our campsite; unfortunately it was 5:30 PM, so we got to experience Austin rush-hour traffic, and got briefly lost to boot.  After dinner, it was early to bed.
