Ah, Austin...I already miss it. I love the down-home feel that Austin has to offer, where I can be sitting on a porch drinking beer while listening to live music--my perfect Saturday afternoon. Austin has just enough Southern charm without the Southern crazy (sorry, Southern states...but sometimes you're insane!). This is a city where I felt instantly at home, and I believe Austin and I will have to meet again someday...
I took this trip to visit my old high school buddy, the vivacious Andy. We spent a lot of time talking about why the Mediterranean diet is fantastic, having debates about spirituality as it pertains to energies and discussing why "kitschy" is the word of the day. I love him!
BBQ is fantastic in Texas. I devoured the pulled pork sandwich pictured above.
Queso anyone? What's even better is it had guacamole in the center...yummmm.
The Capitol building, gorgeous inside! Andy's grandfather helped create the gorgeous floor tiles above.
I think that Texas has a thing for stars, hmmm...
The two pictures above: random antiques found in the store Uncommon Objects.
It truly is a gorgeous city!
Look closely: I spy a woman holding her dog's paw (can I get a collective awww?) and a sweet couple dancing in the background.
Art, art, and more art...all around the buildings and on every wall. ♥
I have a ton more pictures, but I think this small representation of Austin will suffice. I'm in love (the same kind of love I have for Ireland and Turkey), and this is a place I would consider moving to!
Until we meet again, Austin, stay charming...
