I have been asked a lot lately, "Are you excited? Are you getting nervous?" Actually, I am not feeling either one yet; mostly what I am feeling is stressed--stressed about getting through my to-do list, about selling my car, about how much money I am spending (getting a driving ticket this week didn't help, either)...

I keep trying to tell myself to slow down and to enjoy this time, because this IS my vacation...I am going to Germany to WORK. So, with that in mind, I have been
dragging taking my friends and family with me to eat enough Mexican food to last me until Christmas, I've added a few more BBQ places to my list, I've seen my favorite
Texas country artist a couple of times, and I've even done a few things that could be considered tourist-y, like going to the top of the University of Texas tower:

and going on the tour of the brewery in Shiner:

In case you were wondering, the brewery gives you four 6 oz. samples! |
I still have two weeks (!), so it will all get done, right?
