Bluebonnets are the state flower of Texas. These were growing on Congress Street, just outside the Capitol Building.
And here's the capitol!
Inside the Texas State Capitol Building is a statue of Stephen Austin, whom the city of Austin is named for. There's a matching statue of Houston on the other side of him, which you can't see in this picture.
Wow! This ceiling goes all the way up!
Here's another shot of the inside of the dome.
Phew! Texas sure is big. This is a part of the tile floor inside the capitol building.
I saw at least two other cool places in very hot Texas.
Here I am against the downtown Austin skyline. You can see the Frost building in the bankground. (It's a bank).
And! Here's Bookpeople, one of the country's largest independent booksellers! It's got over 4 floors of books!
Keep your eyes open! I have more adventures to be posted soon...
