Rob and I met his old friend Steve and his wife Chris for dinner at Clay Pit in downtown. Rob has known Steve for a long time and haven't seen him in a number of years so it was a treat to find out that Steve lived here in Austin. Steve suggested Clay Pit for dinner which is a wonderful Indian restaurant in town. We pigged out and walked around the building. The building has a lot of history behind it. It had housed a family that lived upstairs while the ground floor was used as a store. The basement kept their slaves, who were often tied-up in shackles (very sad). The metal rings for these shackles still remained on the walls which was very creepy to look at. This building also is on the "haunted tour" of Austin as there is a story that a boy died in the building and his ghost has been seen. Dinner, friends, AND history! Pretty cool!
