A Note from the Editor... Sebastian
Austinites enjoy many summer activities, the key among them is our love of the water, and Austin has plenty of ways to cool off during our Texas summer heat. Lake Austin, this issue’ s focus, runs 26 miles of the Colorado River from Lake Travis to downtown’ s Lady Bird Lake. It features some of the most luxurious homes nestled along the cliffs and hillsides along the lake. Public access is available, but most access is by homeowners via their private boat docks along the lake.
We also love our favorite patios at our local restaurants, cafes, coffee shops, and clubs as they are a great place to enjoy the shade of the Texas Live Oaks, some hundreds of years old. Cooling off can be fun, especially when it’ s at a cool place like Lick, a local organic ice cream company.
Austin also offers some great public swimming holes, like the Barton Springs Pool and Hamiloton Pool. Along with our love of the water, many of us love running along the trails of Lady Bird Lake or along our many of the green belt areas throughout Austin, all providing plenty of shaded trails to keep cool.
I know once you’ ve visited Austin, you’ ll soon discover why many of us live here. Austin is a great place to call home!
