In a state as big as Texas there are several great cities, but none any more alluring than Austin, the Capital of the "Lone Star State."Austin has a personality that will win you over. It is cosmopolitan, yet unpretentious - a place where you can be yourself, whether you are a sophisticated urbanite, or as country as a hay seed. You'll even see bumper stickers which proclaim: Keep Austin Weird! There's a place for EVERYBODY here.The people of Austin obviously have a zest for life, and they enjoy showing their town to visitors - who always discover more than they expected.
I was especially fortunate on my last visit to Austin, in February, 2005, meeting friends Mark and Sarah, who took time off to give me a royal tour. This was my second time in Austin, the first being about 20 years ago. Still I would love to return - there's so much more of the Texas Capitol I want to experience. Somehow, I feel that I've just scratched the surface.
