AUSTIN - DAY 1

My first day in Austin: "Austin in 90 minutes" narrated tour and a visit to the Capitol
Mac hops up on table and checks out the view at Pecan Grove campground
Yes, Austin is in Hill Country
Bremond Victorian House (1886-87)
first home in Austin with indoor toilet
Moonlight Tower -  street lighting system began  in 1895-only U.S. city with system intact
Largest in gross square footage of all state capitols 
Top of capitol
Memorial within walkway entrance to Capitol

House of Representatives 
 
I observed Senate in session

Senate ceiling light fixtures were first electrical lights in Austin
