There are wide trails on both sides of the river going through downtown Austin. Great for biking, wildlife, flowers, and people watching.
The spring is great time in Austin.
Verde Camp is a great place to stay in the South Congress area. Beautiful neighborhoods, walk to fun shops, and great eating. Austin Food Tours does a great SoCo food tour, we did the downtown tour that starts at the downtown farmers market. This is a great husband and wife team that take you to some of the best eats around.
We rode the bikes down to the South Congress Bridge to watch the mexican freetail bats that fly out from under the bridge. We had a great view on a grassy knoll. I put a video from my phone on You Tube.
This row of lunch wagons on South Congress was great. Elaine and I had great Thai food at Coat and Thai. They were able to keep the peanuts out of Elaine's food. The green curry was nice and HOT.
Sushi Box is a new box trailer downtown. Of course I had to check it out. I had an Octopus salad that was nice and crunchy. The owners and executive chef came outside and talked to me a bit. Very nice people.
Trey's Cuisine. Great service and Food. I had Scottish eggs, all local on the plate, eggs, wrapped in ground lamb, breaded and deep fried over a bed of greens. They even gave me a half of a lamb burger, because I had to wait a little bit.
