The Joy of Visiting Austin Texas
If you get a chance to visit Austin, Texas, you're in for a surprise. Austin, the state capitol, was once a well-hidden mecca but is becoming more and more popular as its reputation grows. Austin is becoming home to more and more famous musicians and recording studios. But beyond that, there's still a lot to see and visit in Austin.
First, get out and enjoy the nightlife. Downtown Austin has an eclectic collection of personalities, and is a lot of fun just to walk around. Obviously, music takes the forefront, but the city itself is great. Walk down the street any night of the week and you're sure to discover music in almost every bar and night club along the way, with as big a variety of music styles as there are venues.
If music isn't your thing, head over to Esther's Follies, a live comedy theatre with a huge following. The theatre itself is a small building, but the place remains constantly busy. It's also gaining a national reputation, which makes going there even more exciting as more and more popular acts play Esther's.
During the day, head over to Lake Travis, and spend your time meditating. And since you're there anyway, stick around for sunset, an age old tradition in Austin. The top spot for viewing the sunset is a place called the Oasis, which sits on a hill above the lake with docks where you can sit and watch the sun go down. Austin may not be the most metropolitan place you'll ever travel, but it's a great place to visit nevertheless.
