I actually had a very long (more than a month) visit to Austin this past winter.  I didn't tell y'all I was there, because I didn't want you guys hitting on me.  Despite all my misgivings, there were some awesome things:

1.  Can't remember the name of it, but it is a Mexican food joint over by the Half-Price books off of Mo-Pac.  That place rocks.  I ate there every time I was at the Half-Price Books, which was all the time.

2.  Opal Divines.  Fish and Chips were crazy good.  Went there maybe 4 times.  I'd way 300 lbs. if I live there.

3.  Half-Price Books.  I went to all of them, all of the time.  I read Herodotus in Austin while swelled up with Fish and Chips.

4.  HEB.  Whole-Foods.  Sprouts.  Nothing like that anywhere near where I live.

5.  That big Texas history museum.  Man.  We were there for four hours and I saw about half of it.

Anyway, everyone was pretty nice, and the food was good, and there were lots of books.  All-in-all, a good visit.

Thanks!
