What a great time. I'm not so sure that I really "needed" to come to Austin, even though I did find some interesting information on Cantinflas (Mexican Toby in film - see him in Around the World in 80 Days) and the folks at UT Austin were very nice, but I am SO glad I came here. I met the nicest people (that I will see again) and ate the best tacos, and did the greatest things...
So in Austin there is a 3 acre pool that is made of underground springs: http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/parks/bartonsprings.htm 102 degrees in the air, 68 degrees in the water.... Heard some great and not so great music. Saw the largest urban bat coloney in the world: http://www.austincityguide.com/content/congress-bridge-bats-austin.asp Went to the Austin Museum of Art where there was a great show about art and memory: http://www.amoa.org/site/PageServer?pagename=ex_exhibitions Today am headed to the Mexican/American Cultural Center before I head out to San Antonio: http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/macc/
And let me just say (after my weird experience in College Station) how great couchsurfing is... Why haven't I been doing this before now?!
