I liked the River Walk, party central. I stayed at the Fairmount. That’s the hotel they physically relocated.

The Alamo is interesting, River Walk is entertaining. Much hillier than Houston.

Ever been to the Texas Panhandle? If you stand on a bottle cap and look west you can see the year 1975.

That's in Driftwood, outside of Austin a little bit, but yeah, it's awesome. Worth the drive from anywhere.

Tito's is a great little drive...but for me, I prefer Deep Eddy's, outside of Austin. More yum!

I've lived here so long, I'm sure there's a lot more to discover than I'm seeing, these days.

Don't forget the Old Tunnel State Park:

It's awesome watching the bats fly out at sunset

Also, the National Museum of the Pacific War (the Chester Nimitz museum) is really good, if WWII history is interesting for you.
