Awesome Austin

by Jmill42 - last update: Feb 28, 2004

My Old Home...

Under the Barton Springs Bridge
Austin, TX is my new home. I will be here for the 10 preceding weeks before my Europe Extravaganza! I am living with my sister, which makes this whole experience even better. I'll admit that the anticipation of my upcoming trip is starting to build steam, but I am trying my hardest to enjoy these days with my sister. Being in Austin makes it much easier!!! This town is AWESOME! It has a lot of the perks that New Orleans had. (I just moved from there, for those who don't know me). The music scene is just as awesome, and the nightlife is an obvious step down from NOLA, but not too big of a step down . In addition to the nightlife, Austin adds so much outdoor fun, with Lake Travis and all its water sports, large enough hills and valleys for good mountain biking, hiking, etc. So, I am really happy about being here.

 Jason. I sure did enjoy reading your insights about Austin. Seems to be a beautiful, historic, and musical city. Your tips are helpful, in depth, and accompanied by lovely photographs.

 I've been to Austin in 99 and really liked it. The bats, the 6th street ;-) the university - plenty of reasons to like Austin.
