It's called the Iguana Grille.

It is a 45 minute drive and there are so many shopping enticements that end up being very overpriced (even though they are so cute) and what I call Catalogue Boutique... you know all that high end, Shabby Chic collectible stuff that looks old and warm but is really reproduction and like something else down the road. But if you truly desire to go the scenery is very nice, the restaurants are good. My bet would be to spend your time relaxing in Austin. I don't know anything about the places you mentioned seeing as I have not lived in Austin since 2001. So many things change in an instant. Have a sweet blessed time.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01178225907455093962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058359180724409275.post-63261868290198700822007-11-23T07:14:00.000-08:002007-11-23T07:14:00.000-08:00Don't miss the 2ND Street District.

Among my favorites are Finch, Shiki, Jo's, Mercury Design and Eliza Page. But there's much to eplore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058359180724409275.post-77237588560860903622007-11-22T09:52:00.000-08:002007-11-22T09:52:00.000-08:00I have no wisdom on Austin...but I am happy to be ...I have no wisdom on Austin...but I am happy to be able to catch up on the Cease life. I am really excited about this blog world. Its like getting a weekly newspaper on everyone's life!

It is a neat place, but I think if you are vacationing in Austin, you would really do better to stay there the whole time.Sara Trianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10165816469299451754noreply@blogger.com
