I am retired from the State of Nevada, had a British partner so moved to England. However, when the grandkids started coming, I felt I needed to be there and am so glad I made the move. Austin, Texas is growing by leaps and bounds and I think the traffic has doubled since I've been here (2008)! I used to hike a lot in the mountains surrounding Las Vegas (Nevada) but only marginally in the Austin area. (Can't escape the heat or humidity here!) I discovered when I gutted my house that I actually liked participating in the remodeling process (and even all the design changes!). I am also a passionate gardener, a volunteer usher at a theatre here (Zach) that has professional plays, and a volunteer at the South Austin Senior Center where I take yoga 3 times a week and helped set up the Community Garden a few years ago as a prototype for the City. I also work part-time at a Performing Arts Center (check it out: www.http://thelongcenter.org), which is the most fun job I've ever had!

Dónde ir y qué hacer mientras se esté en nuestra casa
The closest grocery store is about a mile away so a car is a necessity. I am 8 miles from downtown but there is live music everywhere closer. There is a small greenbelt behind me but also a .90 mile trail around the corner.

Paseos o rutas para salir a correr

I have gutted this house and remodeled so am fairly particular about upkeep. It's still a 'work-in-progress" but very comfortable.
