Hook em horns and welcome to Austin, a beautiful city filled with interesting people. It's hard not to fall in love with this sunny and wacky live music capital of the world. Not to mention you've entered the land of Tex-Mex, tattoos, and tech companies – you might even find an apartment with google fiber! Liberal and diverse, Austin sticks out in Texas like a sore thumb, but in the best possible way. What is special about this city is that Austin is truly at the crossroads of Texan culture. You've got plenty of hipsters and hippies within a city that is both proud of its Texas heritage and residents who like to keep Austin weird. So whoever you are, you're sure to be welcomed with open arms and sweet southern hospitality. Invest in a good bathing suit, because there is no better place to be on a steamy Austin day than Barton Springs.
