If you don't mind hanging in there with me for a few more days, I do have several more things about Austin to share with you. I know this is getting somewhat spread out, but life gets in the way. I will be on a business trip through Thursday, so it may be Friday night before the next tour stop. I hope that's ok with everyone.
Thanks for the comments! I am glad everyone is enjoying. Can you tell I love this town??
Tonight, we'll visit Sixth Street, Austin's party district.
Keeping in mind that Austin is a college town, with the University of Texas Campus just a few blocks north of Sixth Street, we will find many young people out any night of the week.
Austin's answer to New Orleans's Bourbon Street, on a smaller scale, Sixth Street boasts several blocks of bars, restaurants and shops. Most of the bars are also live music venues, keeping with Austin's title of Live Music Capital of the World.
A cornerstone of Sixth Street, provides just the right mix of entertainment.
I have made us reservations, so don't stand in line, just head for the door, enter and grab your favorite cocktail. We have a reserved seating section inside.
We'll be entertained for literally hours by the cast of Esther's Follies, featuring Ray Anderson, a GREAT magician. Also, you'll see this character:
Shannon seems to be able to pull just about anything out of that corset of hers!
As we head out of Esther's, keep your eyes peeled, as you may run into the aforementioned Leslie!
Now, head to your hotel (we can walk a couple of blocks right back to the Driskill) and get a good night's rest. I have more adventures in store for us tomorrow!
