Austintatious ~ The RROC Inter-Regional Meet March 23-27

A real Texas-styled Rolls-Royce greeted us at the hotel ~ These dancers entertained us after the opening dinner

One of the fun events was a cooking class/lunch at Whole Foods in Austin

Whole Foods sells the highest quality of natural and organic products. They  do not sell any meat, fresh seafood, produce or dairy products from Japan. There is a wine bar and several makes of beer on tap.

Several members donned true Texan attire

 (0630) Dawn Patrol breakfast run on Friday was to the Westwood Country Club.

Friday evening we were bussed to the Austin Rolls-Royce Motor Cars dealership for a sumptuous sampling of local restaurants' fare and adult beverages (no sodas or water)

Traveling to the Car Show we passed the "food trailers" and gazed upon the Capitol as we made a left hand turn in front of the edifice

A disjointed showing of the Rolls-Royce and Bentley motorcars that traveled to the meet and participated in the Car Show. The oldest car on the field was a 1919 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, the newest was a 2008 Bentley Continental.

Participant Ribbon on Marque ~ At the end of the day, we were a bit tired. The car show was open to the public. I helped collect donations, the funds of which were shared with the Capital Area Food Bank, Austin, and the Rolls-Royce Foundation

Proof positive that the motto for the city is "Keep Austin Weird"

John is pointing out where we are having Sunday breakfast, Carmelo's ~ a scrumptious buffet offering over 30 items to be enjoyed over and over until one is sated. I actually filled my plate and went back for a few second helpings.  

Those who know the way I usually eat would have been surprised.

Thus we ended our stay in Austin, I traveling home in the 81 Rolls-Royce Corniche we had borrowed from friends who were currently in Florida, and Sneed in the Silverado with Marque safely ensconced in Big Red, the trailer.
