During the 4th of July weekend, we had decided to go camping to the Guadalupe Mountains. Guadalupe Mountains are in the western part of Texas near the border with New Mexico. Its a 600 mile drive from Austin on I-10, an interstate highway that spans the US from California to Florida. It was a nice drive and also a nice camping trip.
Here are some pictures. Then this weekend Friday night I decided to drive down to Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Had been having this itch of going on a long drive for quite sometime, so just packed my backpak and called up my friend in Hattiesburg at 12.30 on Friday night letting him know that Im driving down. This time it was a small test for my VW-Jetta as I wanted to take it on a long drive to see how it performs, and neverthless to say it did perform well. This was my first long road trip alone and it was really nice. I was a bit tired while going as I didn't sleep well before leaving but the journey back was just so excellent- beautiful weather and cool traffic, not too crowded nor too lonely.
We visited Gulf Port, Mississippi and ate in a fish restaurant, and I tell you, I have never had such fresh shrimp in my life. It was just awesome!!
