The Great State of Texas - Part 2






Next up - Austin..

When driving to Austin, you realize just how flat Texas is.  Then bam...  the rolling hills of Austin.  It a nice town dominated by the university.   They have a few museums that are cool.  The university is nice as well.   

Of course it was a bit hot that day.   They have some nice parks, shopping areas, and downtown is wonderful.  I see why its one of the 10 most popular places to move to.   

I drove outside of Austin as well to a BBQ place.  It was said a must do.   When I arrived I was apprehensive.  It reminded me of an old ranch time left behind.  A stone building with corrugated steel roof.   The old pole where horses used to be tied are used to separate cars as they park.  Then there were the old picket fences.   I debated whether to eat there.. Then decided I was already there.   Well the BBQ...was good..  Glad I went.   Very deceiving...   

Anyways Austin was nice.  Glad I got to see it.
