1) Partying on my huge Cigarette boat on Lake Travis.
2) Hitting the downtown clubs with girls who are dressed to the 9's.
3) Going out in the field to bring home meat (hunting).
4) Attending the numerous happy hour socials that occur every month around town.
5) Riding my mountain bike down Barton Creek and around Town Lake.

Thanks for those great suggestions Fernando. My top 5 things to do in Austin? I can squeeze it down to 6 with some effort. I'll leave it to others for the obvious things like the seeing the Capitol, Sixth Street, the museums, the UT campus, the bats, and Barton Springs. Here are some personal alternatives I consider worthy additions to the above:

- Bicycle The Veloway. See www.veloway.com (my web site).
- Swim at Deep Eddy when it first opens in the morning.
- Attend a Balcones Community Orchestra concert.
- Hike Barton Creek.
- Drift along the San Marcos River after a bike ride from Buda.
- Ride a bike into Austin from Houston in the MS 150 along with 13,000 friends. See www.teamliz.org.
