Fun Things to do in Austin Texas

When I heard I was moving to Austin,Texas last summer from Southern California, I had thought I was moving to a boring, tedious city, with nothing to do. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Austin, Texas is definitely one of the most interesting and fun places I have ever been to.

One of the things that I enjoy is kayaking on the many lakes (that look exactly like rivers) around Austin. Thankfully we could take our sea kayaks with us when we moved to Texas. Even though it is different than riding open ocean waves, it is still really fun. There are tons of places you can rent kayaks and stand up paddle boards along the lakes.

Another thing to do is to is to go look at the 1.5 million bats that fly out from under the Congress bridge. The best time (and probably only time) is to go see it happening in summer, around 8:00 at night. Whether you are standing on the bridge or out in a boat,you will not be disappointed at this spectacular sight.

Since moving to Texas 8 months ago, I have learned so much, and have seen so many new and exciting things. This move has taught me to not judge places so easily.
