The Amateur Traveler episode 471 today the amateur traveler talks about lots of barbecue, live music, and the

LBJ Presidential Library as we go to Austin, Texas.

I know that I should be heading. Texas.

I know that I should be heading home, but maybe not, maybe not today.

Welcome to the amateur traveler.

I'm your host Chris Christensen. Just two weeks until the 10th anniversary of the amateur

traveler as this show is recorded, but we'll talk about that later. First, let's talk about

Texas. I'd like to welcome the show Mike Henshaw from nomadic Texan.com who's come to talk to us about

Austin Texas. Mike, welcome to the show. Thank you very much for having me, Chris. And you lived in Austin, at least until recently. How many years did you live in Austin? I actually was one of the few people in Austin that was born there a long long time ago. I lived there for about two years and then I got married, moved away and came back and have lived there for 20 years before I moved.

Oh, wow, you must have seen quite a few changes in the Austin area.

My grandmother before she passed lived there and I think there was probably 50,000 people at that point in time and there is now 700,000

plus in the city proper and probably almost 2 million with the suburbs and surrounding area.

Excellent.

And why should somebody go to Austin, Texas?
