Austin and SXSW

I want to move to Austin! Just with the little bit of what I've seen in my ventures out today around town, I just love it. My friends Hannah and Valerie live just a couple of miles from downtown, so today, while they were at work, I took the bus in. It's not far away at all. First I walked around the capital; Austin is the capital of Texas, remember? I've never seen such a majestic building. It looks like the nation's capital in Washington, but just smaller. I took my time walking around and went down Congress St. all the way to Town Lake. It looks like a river, but it is really a lake. There is a path running the length of the lake, so I walked and just took my time taking in the scenery. I sat, lied down, and read for probably an hour or two.

Walking back into downtown, I found 6th Avenue, the bar and restaurant hub for Austin. Right now is the SXSW festival, so there were LOTS of people filling up the street. Live bands were playing in every other bar. I loved it! Now I'm just chillin' at home. I think Val, Hannah, and I are going to a show tonight. Should be fun!
