Sightseeing
Fun to walk this property and tour inside building at night when security still has the building open, and there are so few people there that the place has a lot of charm.

The most quintesentially Austin thing you can do is swim here. Do yourself a favor ~ wait til 9 pm any weeknight, when it's free. Swim under the lights, in a cold spring fed pool, travel back through history, but be reborn in the present time. You will only know what it means when you've done it. Feel free to go by yourself, bc in many ways, you'll enjoy it more that way.

Shopping
I like Big Top Candy Store, & the Barber shop next door. Tesoros is full of trinkets from around the world, but a lot of Mexican Folk Art, which is very popular in Austin & makes great souvenirs! Hey, Cupcake! is so good if you like sweets. Eat anywhere, no... Eat at Perla's or Lucky Robot ~ both are so good!
