Getting to Know Austin
We decided to start with some of the most important sights to see the city. We visited the Presidential Library and Museum of Art, looked at the majestic Capitol, and in the evening we went to watch the incredible flight of a huge flock of bats. No traveller who comes to Austin should miss such a spectacle!

1886 Cafe & Bakery
We went to a bakery for breakfast with a cool interior in retro style and very tasty buns and cakes. Coffee's delicious here, too. Another huge plus of this place is that it, unlike many Austin cafes, works without a weekend from early morning till late evening.

LBJ Presidential Library
Getting to know the capital of Texas has decided to start with the Presidential Library. It tells the story of an interesting and complex man, Lyndon Johnson, the 36th President of the United States. The museum even has a copy of the Oval Office. Also, we were interested in hearing the president's recorded phone conversations.

Blanton Museum of Art
Next, we went to the Museum of Art. It's small, but it's got a lot to look at. European, American and world contemporary art is represented here. Thursday was a day of free admission, so we were very lucky! And if you are going to visit the museum on Sunday, keep in mind that it opens at 13 o'clock.
If you have enough time, you can spend the whole day looking at the exhibits carefully collected by the museum staff. By the way, the parking lot is, as it turns out, paid, so keep in mind.

Texas Chili Parlor
On the way to the Capitol, we stopped by the local pub for lunch. It's more like an evening outing if you want to rest in a noisy company. But during the day, there are also visitors who just came to eat. We got Chili and Nachos, everything was delicious! Careful, very sharp!

Texas Capitol
So we've reached the Capitol of the state capital! Very beautiful building of pink granite. There's a park with sculptures around it that's also worth seeing. Entrance is free, excursions are provided. A place to visit if you're in Austin.

South Congress Bridge
We're here on a tip from the locals. When the sun begins to set here you can see a spectacular sight! Incredible number of bats! They're flying out under the bridge and circling in a huge pack! You can take a kayak and watch this miracle from the water, or you can sit in the park, where they are also clearly visible.

Corner Restaurant
Time to think about dinner. Came into the place after an evening stroll. It was a warm evening and we sat outside. It's a pretty nice place, but if you go inside, it's noisy. Very good service, the girl waiter kindly told us about the dishes, never looking at the menu. Have a good meal, have a good rest!

Tomorrow we have another day in Austin. I'd like to have time to look at everything we've planned. We went to the room to get some sleep, but those who like night walks can have an evening promenade.
