Very enjoyable walk with Tyler who gave us a comprehensive history and background to this rapidly growing city. He even made sure to keep us comfortable in the shade while the temperatures started rocketing. A great introduction to find out about how Austin has got to where it is now and where it is going. Many thanks.
