In an effort to explore our new city, my darling husband came up with a fantastic surprise of visiting some "hot spots" known for their artistry (aka graffiti).
The perfect way to start an Austin morning is with a cup of Jo's coffee shop on what the locals call SoCo (South Congress). Right there on the mint green wall is some famous graffiti "I Love You So Much".
Right around the corner, in a quaint little neighborhood (1720 S. 1st St), we posed in front of the famous "Greetings From Austin" mural. This mural is so vibrant and indicative of the many tourist attractions with the capital, Congress Avenue Bridge and more.
Next, Hubby drove us to MLK and Alamo. We hiked the grassy knoll next to The United Way for Greater Austin building and posed in front of "You're My Butter Half". This mural is so beautifully painted with precision and color and so clever!
Lastly we made our stop at "Jeremiah, The Bullfrog" in downtown (21st and Guadalupe). In its simplicity, it expresses Austin's uniqueness.
We have so much more to explore, but what a great way to start!
