| Page Views: 336 Last Visit to Austin: June, 2007 I Visit Here Frequently | State Capitol by hoofhearted - last update: Jul 4, 2007 |
Fun and sun for everyone! Austin is many things to many people...state capitol, university town, high-tech industry, live music, and don't forget "the bats"! A tour of the state capitol building is a must. It is conveniently located downtown and offers guided tours.
The University of Texas campus offers a great scene including sports, the arts and great people watching.
Austin boasts non-stop service to San Jose, CA (Silicon Valley) due to the influx of computer "nerds" commuting.
The Live Music Capitol of the World...6th street rocks and rolls continuously and hosts the South by Southwest music festival every Spring.
And don't miss the millions of Mexican free-tailed bats who fly out from under the Congress Street Bridge every night to go hunting for their dinner (insects, not people). |
