I arrived back in Newfoundland Saturday night at 11:00pm. We were delayed leaving New Jersey again, but the tailwind helped us make up for lost time. My last day full day in Texas was Friday (May 4th). Sharon, Stephanie and I checked out the Congress Building after work that day. It's a pretty impressive structure. Stephanie and I were joking about walking in somewhere we probably shouldn't, and then we wandered in on a meeting of the House of Representatives . . . oops! No, just kidding, we were actually allowed to be in there! Stephanie and I decided to check out a few museums and art galleries that were opened later that evening, as Sharon went on her own shopping. Around 8:30 pm we headed down to Congress Bridge to take in the bats one last time and then headed back to our hotel to pack. It was a nice, leisurely way to spend our last night in Austin.

All I have to say about being back in Newfoundland is "BOOOOOO!" The weather is crappy! It's a shock to the system to be in summer temperatures for three weeks and then all of a sudden be thrown back into nasty Newfoundland. Grrrrr!
