Where did you end up going in Austin? What did you think of Texas?

Had a great time in texas, was workin weekdays 8-6 but went out for a meal every night to a different spot. The restaurants were unreal, i think i've put on about a stone. Went out on the town a few nights, sixth street mainly. Great town to go out in really, you'd need a few years to get around all the bars and clubs. The ladies were extra gorgeous for some reason. I think it must be the college thing.
Went to san antonio for a high school football game which was really cool, cheerleaders, bands, the whole thing was mad. I always was sceptical of the game but once i saw it live i was hooked. Wish i couldve gone to an NFL game but there was none on at the time.
I'd definetely go back to texas with my friends for a holiday to see more of the sights and try head west to cowboy country. If yer goin, rent a car, the place is too big, the bus service is impsossible to figure out and taxis are expensive. Petrol is cheap so a car is the only way to go, or a harley would be the business too!

Yep, Texas is HUGE, friendo.

I'm glad you enjoyed your trip there. Austin is bascially known for it's restaurants and good live music.

Austin is known as the San Francisco of the south. I live south of it in Houston, and it is a damn sight better place to drop anchor. Pricey to live there though, but still not bad.
