I originally flew to Austin for:

After those 2 were done, I had a day to spend in Austin, which turned out to be just enough for the main sights. I started with the state capitol:

From there, I went to the Blanton Museum of Art:

And the Bullock State History Museum was next (click for page):

I tried to visit the famous Franklin BBQ, but it was mostly sold out by the time I arrived (14:20). I was able to get some leftover "mixed meats", which was better than nothing:

The LBJ Library and Museum was a nice museum in the University, to finish the day. I learned a lot about the man, and he was one of the better presidents that the country did get:

When I was done with the LBJ libray and museum, I went to check out the 6th av district, including murals:

many businesses had these signs, saying anyone with any gun, was unwelcome

I went to check out the museum of the weird, but it was a lesser Ripley's Believe It Or Not, nothing to write home about.

The Texas Toy Museum and Arcade (click me) was a lot more fun, though. Good way to burn time until sunset, when the bats were supposed to come out under some bridge, but by then it started pouring rain, and they didn't come out anytime

everyone waiting and hoping, but no luck

nice views, though

After that, it was time to meet my friend Marc Antoine for a great evening together over some local BBQ:

And that was it for visiting Austin, outside of one museum that was closed that day, got to see all things on my worthwhile list ;)
