Texas is pretty

Interviews that start after 9:00 a.m. are my favorite kind. Life is so much better waking up at 7:45 than 5:00 a.m. Unfortunately, my interview didn't end quite early enough for me to walk to the Alamo, so I drove. Let me just say this, it's a bit of a letdown. Buuut, I'm glad I went. I raced back to my hotel to ditch the interview suit ASAP and then I drove to the Alamo and parked (for $10...boo) and walked over there and walked around. Really underwhelming, but afterwards, I went and walked the river walk for about an hour and then left for my hotel/dinner a little after 6:00 p.m. as it was getting dark and I already have a bad sense of direction. Add in the inability to see and I'm really bad with direction.

The rest of the day was a typical interview day. And the eats were pretty decent. But first: breakfast (which was advertised as hot breakfast), was not exactly that. The only hot thing was waffles, which you made yourself. I'm not a waffle person, so I went for the bagel, yogurt, and hardboiled egg. I also grabbed some fruit for later. Lunch was sandwiches, salad, a pickle, and a brownie. I also grabbed a peanut butter cookie later, which is why I declined awesome looking desserts at the bakery at the restaurant I went to. Willpower. Word.

Dinner (the waiter recommended it). It was okay.

Bakery of life

Dinner may have been a bit over the top, buuuut I didn't eat all the cheese nor did I eat any rice. So, it could've been worse. 

Tomorrow I get up kinda late (8:00 a.m.) to hit up Subway, the gas station, WalMart (gotta get more South Beach bars) and then head to return my car. My flight leaves at around 11:00 a.m. and it's only 15 minutes away, so I should be plenty early despite another offsite car rental place.

Cheers!
