It's now three weeks after these adventures that I'm finally actually writing about them, incidentally while I watch over my laundry from the last incredible week of spring break sitting on a cushion on the 15th hall floor of Dobie.
At the start of March, Doug Burns (my favourite Austinite from 2008) helped me to organise a trip out to Valley Mills to visit my favourite camel man, Doug Baum, along with my exchange friends. I think we all had a grand time just hanging out on the ranch with the animals and his kids and sharing a lovely meal together. The camels had their thick, winter coats and were adorable as usual, and there were some new additions to the farm like a miniature donkey and two beautiful dogs. There happened to be a wildlife retrieval man also visiting who had picked up some rattle snakes for his radio show. So we saw some rattles up close. Crazy, crazy day!

Then the following Thursday Planet Longhorn hosted their masquerade party upstairs at Ace's Lounge. Josh Hinkle, whom I shadow at KXAN, was gracious enough to lend me his delicate black and gold mask. It began as a very classy event, but quickly turned into a wild dance party as the strong drinks took effect and the 80's cover band rocked the joint. Lots of fun all round and some great photo ops. My top pick is Jordan's air guitar sans mask.
And not to be out done, the Czech girls, Bara and Pavla cooked the most delicious Czech dinner for us the night after the ball, complimented by some very, very tasty apple strudel. Liz did a fantastic job peeling apples that day too. So we've experienced food from Romania and the Czech Republic and one of these days the Aussies will also have to deliver on a food promise.
Your blog is really nice. Thanks for sharing your experiences. I like Czech food very much and i have tried many Czech cuisine recipes which i got from youtube and many other website.
