Buried Treasure No. 4

Last spring Tony and I drove almost 1400 miles to Austin, Texas. We made stops in Flagstaff, Sedona, Albuquerque, Roswell, Carlsbad Caverns before we got to Austin. Tony drove the whole way because I was on paid killers for my broken foot. I was navigator and road chef. I made some of the best sandwiches of my life. Some highlights from the trip:

Barton Springs (Austin) is the perfect place to cool off on a hot day. $3 gets you in and out access all afternoon.

 Carlsbad Caverns (New Mexico) was a sight to see. I didn't walk down because of my foot, but Tony did and I took the elevator down to meet him.

This is the view from right inside the cavern. 

In the 1950's there was a big cafeteria down in the caverns and you could dine and smoke there. Now it's just a small refreshment stand.

Came across this great candy shop in Austin, stocked up for the trip back. 

I never met an ice cream, or an ice cream sign that I didn't like.

We enjoyed all the outdoor seating at the south west restaurants. 

We took a "shortcut" on an old mountain road and came across this post office.

The red rock in Sedona, Arizona. 

A city street in Austin. 

Ah! 

The best thing I found in Austin- this sno cone truck. We visited this truck about 6 times. I couldn't get enough. Road trips are the best.
