Go and watch the bats fly out from under the Congress Avenue bridge. it's the largest urban bat colony in North America, and quite a site.

I grew up in Texas and lived in Austin for a couple of years after I got out of college. It's a great town and if for some strange reason I had to go back to Texas, that's the only place I could live.

If Kerby Lane is still open, it used to be a great place (but crowded) for breakfast. Or for an early breakfast after being out late.
Chuy's has great Mexican food and strong margaritas.
There's a chain of Mexican restaurants out of Houston called Papasito's that I love. Not sure if they're in Austin now or not.
If you're a sun worshiper, check out Hippie Hollow at the lake, there's probably still a clothing-optional section farthest from the parking lot. It's really crazy on Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day weekend when tons of gay people descend for First Splash and Last Splash. After going there, head to the bar on the top of the hill and have a drink to watch the sun set. I think it's either called the Patio or the Oasis, can't remember.
We also used to ride inner tubes down the Guadalupe river near New Braunfels. Fun, but be careful going over the rapids.

Wasn't a knitter then, so don't have any recs for you. My Dad still lives in New Braunfels and my Mom is in San Antonio, so if I make to Austin, I'll let you know.

Good luck!

Oh, I've been to Austin!!!

It's a neat city. We drove there from Waverly, Ohio, back in 1990, through two ice storms just to see my sisters for my last Christmas at home.

Strange...the ice storms through Tennessee and Arkansas were the worst, but right there crossing the border into Texas, it was as if someone drew a line and there was the bluest skies and the most perfect weather driving from there all the way down.

I think one of the best things I like about Texas is the sunsets.

Well, good luck to you; hope you're doing well.

Lucky you! Ausitin is beauiful. It's different from the rest of Texas. Without slighting an entire state, I think that Austin is just more accessible to non Texans then the rest of the state. I would love to live in Austin.
