Ariel is in Austin!!  And shortly after picking her up from the airport, my friend Jenny called to see what we were up to.  We were up to food, naturally, so we made plans to meet up at Snack Bar on South Congress for a patio dinner and drinks.

All of us had the same want for fresh fare before another weekend of SXSW adventures, so we ordered a few dishes for the table to share.  Avocado quinoa, tomato lemongrass curry, brussels sprouts, and an assortment of beverages…  All perfectly fresh choices.

Jenny and I became fast friends as soon as I arrived in Austin, which has made my transition to a new city so darn easy.  And even though I’m sure that Ariel and I will bump into her plenty over the course of the next week, I’m super glad that my oldest friend and my newest friend got a chance to hang before the madness begins!

P.S.  How do you like the pictures taken with my new lens??
