Wandering Austin for the Day
When you are visiting Austin, keep in mind that there are many things to do and see in the nearby area. If time permits, venture out and take in some or all of them. Each is a distinctive trip in its very own way, with its own enjoyment and own excitement. Here are just a few of the choices you have:
• Music — Austin is the "Live Music Capitol of the World." Down by Sixth Street, music flows from just about every doorway of the clubs and bars. Almost everything from Rock to Blues is available, depending on your style. For the full experience, move from bar to bar and catch a little bit of all the distinct varieties.
• Inner Space Mountain — This limestone cavern was found not long ago during roadway construction. The stalactites and stalagmites make attractive formations that guests can visit in groups or privately. With the cavern staying at a continuous 72 degrees year-round, it's a good getaway from the summertime heat, as well.
• Lake Travis — Beautiful Lake Travis is a good location to get out and fish or just float along. It's 62 miles in length and full of hidden coves. It's an uncomplicated location to uncover a peaceful area to chill out in. Also, hanging out in a boat on the water or sitting on the dock of The Oasis restaurant are both great sites to watch the sun set.
• Congress Street Bridge — Just about every night from March through October over a million Mexican free-tail bats fly out from below the bridge on Congress Street. The sight is overwhelming as a huge dark wave billows from beneath the bridge at sunset. Even non-bat lovers will find this experience amazing.
