Exchange Zones

Our house is located in central Austin, the city known as the Live Music Capitol (you can go virtually anywhere to hear great music!). We are a few blocks away from great restaurants, bars and the grocery. You would want to rent a car (not the best public transit available here yet) to be able to see all of the sites in Austin, including a swim at Barton Springs, a walk on the Town Lake Trail (or rent a canoe there), watching the Mexican Free Tail bats fly out at sunset at the Congress street bridge, a tour of the capitol, and more. Our neighborhood is safe, quiet and a few blocks from a neighborhood pool. A 45 minute drive away is another neat city, San Antonio, where you can visit the Riverwalk, the historic Alamo and enjoy hispanic culture. Houston, a larger, busier city, is 3 hours away. We have plenty of family and friends in Austin who would help you out with tours/sightseeing if you desired.
