Austin Outings
When you are staying in Austin, remember that there are many things to do and see in the adjacent region. If time allows, venture out and take in some or all of them. Each is a distinctive trip in its own way, with its own fun and own excitement. Here are just a few of the choices you have:
• Music — Austin is the "Live Music Capitol of the World." Down close to Sixth Street, music flows from every single doorway of the clubs and bars. Everything from Rock to Blues is offered, depending on your taste. For the full encounter, move from bar to bar and catch a little bit of all the unique kinds.
• Inner Space Mountain — This limestone cavern was found not long ago during roadway construction. The stalactites and stalagmites make beautiful formations that tourists can visit in groups or privately. With the cavern remaining at a continual 72 degrees year-round, it's a great escape from the summertime heat, as well.
• Lake Travis — Beautiful Lake Travis is a great spot to get out and fish or just float along. It's 62 miles in length and full of concealed coves. It's a straightforward spot to find a peaceful area to take it easy in. Also, hanging out in a boat on the water or sitting on the dock of The Oasis restaurant are each terrific locations to watch the sun set.
• Congress Street Bridge — Every evening from March through October over a million Mexican free-tail bats fly out from underneath the bridge on Congress Street. The sight is overwhelming as a huge dark wave billows from under the bridge at sunset. Even non-bat lovers will find this encounter incredible.
