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 !
