It's Ali's and my third day in Austin and we are very pleased to find that it's everything savvy travelers and the NYT Travel section promised: bright skies, urban renewal, funky bars and friendly people. It's also liberal and activist, which means I'm feeling right at home.
Nobody told us how dog-friendly the city is, so it was a nice surprise to find that Scout is welcome nearly everywhere and that the city park has a huge riverfront area designated off-leash. After four days of eating on my lap in the driver's seat, it's nice to have a meal that doesn't have an aftertaste of styrofoam.
The weather is gorgeous - warm and sunny during the day, cool at night - and the men are HOT. Not just regular old good-looking hot, but Matthew McConaughey-rugged-athletic-tanned-toned-polite-drawling HOT. And way better than the guys I saw at the truck stops in Arkansas.
I could definitely live here.
