As much as I like to spend my days off lounging in bed, watching television and eating only when necessary, it is nice to get out and do things. Especially when those things are unique to the Austin area. So I went tubing down one of the many river lines around the San Marcos area today with Brie, the girl she is currently interested in, and three of her friends.
I was kind of reluctant at first when we reached San Marcos and a stop at the gas station to pick up beers ended up being an hour plus of driving around trying to find a place to have a drink until 12 when beers could be legally bought at any location. I didn't know that was a law. And quite a dumb law indeed, makes no sense really. I was starving after eating a popsicle for dinner last night and nothing in a morning full with waking up and shaving before heading out.
But the ride itself was fairly mellow and awesome. I got to chat with each girl, except for Brie's love interest who was pretty wrapped up with her, and they were each very interesting and fun. One brought her dog who, bless her heart, was at times over heating with her black coat, and then when in the water, got dashed against a rocky shore by the rapids at the end of the line. One of the other girls who claims to not like dogs or water much had to jump in and grab her to keep her head above water. It was kind of intense and heroic so we let her have a smoke. The girl, not the dog.
