I have heard numerous times from many people how great this town is. And, articles have been written to say the same. So I had high expectations of the place. I was mostly here to photograph the state capitol and visit the library of President L.B. Johnson. And, in town is the University of Texas.

The next time someone tells me how beautiful it is, I will ask them what specifically makes them say that because to me it looks like many other towns I have seen in Texas and elsewhere. No special geographical features that I saw -- lakes, ocean beaches, mountains, forests, flowers. The architecture looks like so many other places of nothing special.

As of a few months ago, one of my brothers moved to a town just outside Austin. His wife teaches in the Austin area. So, many reasons to visit the town.
