Austin: Get your blood pumping

I realized that I have too much information on Austin to share and it won't all fit in one blog post. So, my recommendations will come one at a time or possibly in orgaized groups.

My first recommendation is to take a walk around Ladybird Lake (Also, known as Town Lake). There are several entry points. We usually park at Zilker Park and take a loop around that is about 45 minutes at a brisk walking pace. There are some beautiful views and great people watching. On a nice day, there will be lots of people out enjoying a row on the water.

There are lots of dogs, stroller, runners and even a few bikers. Dogs must be on leash, but there is a leash free dog park in Zilker Park. And, on the weekend you can even pretend to be a dog owner and loan a dog from a rescue center that sets up.
