Texas welcome


It's now been 2 months since we moved to Austin, Texas, after having spent the last 3 years in Ireland, and Norther California before that.
Between the move itself, ramping up on new role at work, back to school and all that, we haven't had much time to discover our new city. But we have had time to form an opinion, and so far we're delighted. Everyone we've run across here has been friendly, helpful, welcoming. The schools are great, make smart use of technology at the benefit of kids and parents, teachers and administrators alike are very approachable. The city itself is quite 'user friendly', striking a good balance between access and convenience with charm and personality. The 'Keep Austin Weird' mantra and surrounding quirkiness speaks for itself!

There is a vibrant cultural and dining scene here we want to start exploring more actively, as well as many opportunities for outdoor fun. All in all, early days still but so far we couldn't be happier.
