I do believe that the only way to write about my trip to Austin, Texas would be to write a love letter to that lively city and that lovely state. So here it is.

Dear Austin, 

You are fun. 

You were so highly anticipated and so highly renowned and you did not disappoint.  Every street, every meal, and every minute of every day was filled with adventure and desire to explore more. With the hot sun beating down on my skin and the diverse live music beating through my veins, my heart and my smile was full. You filled me with happiness and energy as well as my bodyweight in chips and salsa, and I thank you. You are a city worthy of attention and your people are worthy of yours. I expected flat, dry land, and although it was significantly present you also showed your lush, captivating forests and swimming holes. True beauty lies within your expansiveness.

You changed my summer and you changed my thoughts of Texas. I hope we will meet again soon. 

xoxo
