So I Definitely

don't want to leave Austin, which is kind of hard to believe, seeing as how it is in Texas and all, and you know how we northerners don't like them there southerners. Haha, just kidding. In all actuality, though, Austin was the coolest place I've been so far and definitely seems like an awesome place to live. The hostel here was great (except for the fact that there was no hot water, haha) and the location was good, too. The past two days here I met up with a couple of English guys and we hit up 6th and Congress (which is like the hot spot of live music and pubs here, all crammed into about a 6 block stretch, which is closed to traffic on the weekends). The one video is of a band doing Johnny Cash on an outdoor stage at The Blind Pig. It was a pretty sweet setup, since the stage is on the upstairs outdoor patio and you can see the cityscape from there. Of course, there were a lot of other cool bars and such, and there was a band in almost three-quarters of the places, and nowhere charged a cover. Pretty good deal, really. Also, last night went moonlight kayaking with the one guy, Nathan - posted a couple pics. We ended up running into these other two guys who were rope-swinging into the lake, so of course we had to share in the excitement - little vid of that, too. Oh, and I swam in a hot spring. At any rate, I've had an awesome time here, and don't really want to go, but have to stick to the schedule or I'll never be back to York, haha. Anyway, miss everyone! And, ps, yes Maggie, I'm having a good time =)
