Kerbey Lane Cafe

| December 17, 2008

Because of a huge blunder on my part (terrible terrible mistake!), we found ourselves in Downtown Austin last Friday night.  One good thing that came out of it is that we had the chance to have an impromptu drive/tour around the University of Texas (UT) Campus (one fine looking University even at night!) while we [...]
