Austin and Los Angeles...My Favorite Places

Austin, Texas

Austin, Texas is not only my hometown but one of my favorite places. I love the hipster vibe and the "Keep Austin Weird" mentality. There is always something interesting to do and the music scene and quirky feel of the city is by far the best part of Austin!

Los Angeles, California

Technically, I've only been to LA by way of LAX but, I am in love with the city. I did not get a chance to explore LA but, I plan on visiting this summer and potentially moving there with one of my best friends after we graduate. The city is a perfect fit for us; laid back but still fast paced. I am very excited to start our new journey in LA and I can't wait to explore and do all things touristy in the summer.

  1. I hope you will get a chance to explore LA soon! And of course I had to smile when I saw Austin there: I was born in Austin! It's a like a totally different place from 1960s and early 1970s when I was a kid growing up there... it's SO HUGE now. My parents moved back there when they retired, so I have an excuse to go visit a couple times a year: so much fun!!! They live right downtown too, so it's a blast. Quirky is what it's all about, just as you say: Keep Austin Weird!!!

    For the links, check back to the assignment details for how to make links with link TEXT instead of the raw http. If you can edit this to practice making links with actual text instead of the raw http, that would be great! Let me know if you have any questions as you experiment with that. :-)

  2. P.S. I just made up a new help page about creating links to focus exactly on how link text works: I hope that helps! Let me know. :-)
