Yesterday I was in the capital of Texas' Austin. In this city, the largest Capitol of the country. The original building, built in red granite, is from the base may be smaller than the Capitol in Washington, but it was underground enhanced so that it is now the largest terms of area. Also
the Washington Capitol dominated in height by 14 feet, the altitude record, however, yet always with 34 floors in Baton Rouge. The interior of the Capitol can be seen almost completely, what a day m a visit was not possible because in all gears hordes of school groups roamed s and all are offering courses in choral singing. Apparently, it was of a very specific event. For this reason, the guide included only the entrance and the basement, which the tour leader (speaking like a waterfall) in an incredible fast 'exerting'. While there was a possibility on your own to explore further the Capitol but was surrounded by hundreds of screaming, singing and raging children with the very idea too stressful. So I would go into town to find something like this mitzukriegen. The 'Governor Mansion' precipitated out, unfortunately, for this burnt 2008, and the restoration work is far from over. The architecture of the downtown was some very interesting, but otherwise resembled the capital of any other American city. In the 6th Street, which is due to the many bars, the entertainment center of the city, was at 15 ° ° Sorry almost extinct. Some of the shops had been opened, but the prospect of sitting alone in a bar for 500 people, I was not particularly exciting. So 
I went over to the next destination, the 'Umlauf Sculpture Garden' . There were Ku nstwerke of the eponymous artist in circulation and a few sculptures other sculptors to be seen. Circulation provide detailed sculptures were working so that they sometimes seemed to be almost alive. Now it was almost 17 ° ° Clock, but at Austin was unfortunately ni chts more, which would have interested me. So I sat back in the car and went to the 1.5-hour Wge to Fredericksburg. The trip was a pleasant change, since they lead rte of little-used highway that led through green, hilly terrain. The highways were not straight, but is added to the conditions of the environment. It was a 
n forests, farms, wild flowers and camels! over, an impression of what my 'true Texas' mediated and my idea of free land was much closer than the cities. This impression was surprised but also something that I had rather be presented as a dusty Texas desert with sparse vegetation and rolling in the bushes like wild west movies. These are, but more of a green wilderness. When I arrived in Fredericksburg, I learned the next pleasant surprise. This town gave me the impression of an oversized Atobahnrasthofes, but really like a small town. The motels and gas stations gave up big, bright billboards that were otherwise cobwebs hanging over the cities of power lines to a 
limited minimum. The city tried failed nbar really to 'Americanize' not leave, but maintain their German character (sometimes a little too much). For Fredericksburg as well as New Braunfels by German immigrants been established. After room relationship I looked me in something the city and met with 'lime tree', a restaurant that promises authentic German food. It was no surprise that I was again somewhat disappointed because the courts differed greatly from his usual yet. My pork consisted of 3 slices thinly sliced in a thin crust with no sauce. The enclosures were made of red cabbage (which reminded me, given the high concentration of clove at Christmas) and 2 nondescript piles of which I did not know whether it acted unsuccessful potato dumplings or bread dumplings accident. Later I learned that it's original Bavarian Potato Salad ' was. I would make it less than 'original', but rather describe as 'original'. What saved the whole, once again, that was good beer. But we must be willing to pay for a bottle of Franciscan at just 384g content about $ 8. I therefore belles it at one. Tomorrow I will continue my exploration of the city vortsetzten. to be continued ....
