So my life has been work, work, gym, stress, work, work, and food.There has not been much excitement for me but out of the blue my boyfriend and I packed and left Austin. We took a day trip to to the east coast of Texas hoping the sun was shining and the wind was tamed.
Sunday was a great day in Austin but Monday on Memorial Day the weather was horrible. I called my uncle and told him think you since he was in the military but now does police/security work. It has been years since I have spoke to him. I have not been keeping up with friends or family.I made plans to sun bathe at Deep Eddy's Pool which get water from the local spring but the water is cleaned daily. This water is SUPER COOL even on a hot day. Since the weather got me down we hit the gym and working out on shoulders and legs.
We were off that day and had noting to do so we packed our swim trunks and took off to Galveston, Tx. Since we were up since 9AM and hit the gym we have not ate, so we got some spring rolls to go from Pho King. I have tofu rolls while Val had shrimp rolls. SO GOOD! We left from north Austin on 290 to Giddings. I hate traveling and in less then an hour I was restless and bored lol. So we through Brenham were I saw an out door movie theatre but Val did not want to stop and watch a movie. Finally after three hours were arrived in Houston. Houston is a big city. I have only been there one other time to an Italian Festival several years ago.

It must have taken about thirty minutes to drive through. It continues to be cloudy and windy. There still really is not much to see but there are plenty of small towns from Austin to Galveston but none that we stopped to check out. The gay disease know as antique shopping... it plagues me, but luckily I have no money to buy anything if I did see something I like lol. So finally are right outside Galveston as the traffic builds up. We say cars... "thugged up" I guess. Cars with crazy rims to cars missing parts but still driving.
There were people parking on the side of the road fishing. Lots of houses with boats and houses with three to six jet skis. Makes me wonder what do these people do for a living to afford several cars, boats, jet skies, and to live off the lake or the ocean....????
Finally we made it to Galveston and there was so much to seen. There were lots of pelicans, sea gulls, historical buildings, scary people. So I had to piss and we stopped at a gas station. The inner-section was packed and there were tons of people. At the gas station, I was shocked at what I saw. "Thugs" wearing shorts over shorts over shorts and you still can see their underwear....????
So not prêt-à-porter!
We take off and make a right turn on some road called Sea.... . something something.... and I see the Gulf of Mexico!!! We find a spot to park at and hit a shop. We use their dressing room to change into our swim trucks. Unfortunately my trucks didn't fit me so Val bought me some new ones. I weight 183lb but with a waist that has a mind of its own. Usually I am a 34in but I guess yesterday I was a 32in. I got my new trucks on and then we shopped for a souvenir for the fridge. I love collecting magnets for our fridge. We head to a place called Fish Tails for an early dinner. Being a vegetarian my selection was limited. But Val and I agreed that our vegetarianism is closer to a Mediterranean lifestyle then becoming vegans. Val loves cheese and milk and I love breakfast tacos with papas!!! We had sea food and it was great.
So we walk the beach with some left over french fries to feed the sea gulls. That was an experience I can not really describe. Watching the sea gulls about 2 feet away from me, hovering, it was like magic. I tried to let them take a fry off my head but I was to scared and kept squatting down then standing up straight so they could grab it.
I collect some sea shells, Val steps on a rock, and I almost slip on to rocks into the ocean. We decide to check out the local homo pub called Stars. There was nothing cute about it besides a being next to the beach. We had a beer and watching House. The day passed and it was already 8pm and the sun was going down. The wind was picking up and sand was getting in our eyes. We headed back to the car which seemed to take forever when you have to piss.I didnt want to go back to Austin. I wanted to stay on the beach and wait for the sun. But being a grown up there are bills to pay. The drive was long and I started to fall asleep in the passenger seat. Finally home by 1:30AM.
