What's so cool about Austin?

I've been to Austin 3 times in the past year and I look forward to returning.  Why? 

Its pretty, especially the river



Great places to eat.  Seriously,  great food!



lots of these food trailers - everywhere



another food trailer...love the name (didn't try the food....yet)

on South Congress (did eat here...great food, nice/casual atmosphere

if you run out of time to track this down in the city, there's a small one in the airport

Great looking capital building - inside and out

I did wonder why the dome is painted

Looking up into the dome

same view, just zoomed in a little more

Big zoom...and there it is...the Star and "TEXAS"

if you stand exactly in the center of the star and talk (or sing) it sounds like you're using a microphone...but only if you're right in the center

Doorknob - on door of the capital.  What's with all of the stars in Texas?



Some wildlife


I took his photo...he's thinking "awww nuts!)

right down Congress



2 legged wild life....she was only topped by the guy riding his bike in a red thong (which I didn't see, thank you, Kellie)

 Lots of stuff so you can play cowboy (or cowgirl)

so many choices...I can't make one

Austin, I'll be back!
