Austin Downtown

Finally I am getting a little bit better (4h of sleep, could be worse, but still cant eat). So now I am awake, could do something but no possibility to get town. So I decided to hitchhike for the first time outside Germany. Since everybody from this area needs to drive to downtown, that was far more easy than I thought. At last I get to see some of Austin Downtown proper. Here some impressions

my flat in Austin (since you haven´t seen it yet)

thanks for driving me

University of Texas

The campus is huge and actually very green and nice to walk through

The University’s football stadium. College football is as popular as the national leagues so the stadiums are professional ones.

The Texas Capitol

Downtown

the famous 6th bar street. It is supposed to be very cozy. Well, it might be for Texan standards :D

my first food in days, a triple bacon burger (two bacon patties with fried bacon on top). I was as delicious as it was nuts to get it. Predictably, after 3 days of fasting, it soon made me very sick again.

the bridge across the Lady Bird Lake to the hipster neighborhood of South Congress

they do have quite some humor

People are already queuing again for the bats to come out

 

I would have loved to stay out and have some drinks in Austin’s famous 6th street but my stomach and stamina told me otherwise. The 20min cab ride back was 50$ (and that was before 10pm). Really inconvenient to get around here :/
