Gustav Update

Well we evacuated for Hurricane Gustav on Saturday at about 2pm and drove towards San Antonio where we had a free room. It took me 9 1/2 hours to make the 6 hour trip, not bad by most people's reports so far. A friend of mine that left 2 hours after me took 18 hours to get to Austin, so we were pretty lucky on the evacuation theory.

So yesterday we went and saw the Alamo and the Zoo both of which were cool. The Alamo was a lot more emotional than I had imagined it to be. Today we are going to hit the San Jose Mission, Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum, and the Witte Museum where they have a traveling Leonardo Da Vinci hands-on exhibit of his inventions.

We are thinking that we will just get a lot of rain and some winds in South East Texas, but nothing too major. We still are unsure of when we can actually go home, but I imagine it won't be until late tonight or early tomorrow.
