The weather was just perfect. It was sunny and in 60s, just the kind of weather that gets people to come out and play.
I went to University of Texas campus which is right in downtown. UT at Austin is one of the largest campus in US with over 48,000 students and 2700 faculty members. Here are a few pictures from my leisurely stroll through through the campus.
I am staying at Embassy Suites which is located right next to I-35 near Highland Mall, kind of convenient.
Main University building with George Washington statue in the front.
Beautiful water fountain in front of the main building.
School of Business - Saw several students enjoying the sun and having group study sessions. All of them had their laptop open and using campus wide free wi-fi access.
UT has a very strong foot ball team and they have a beautiful stadium similar to the horse shoe of OSU. I wanted to go in snap a few pictures, but couldn't.

Thanks Giving Shopping: That's great American experience.. Do we need all the stuff we end up??? possibly not.. but we all get consumed anyways..
Hey, saw this just now and so looks like I missed you already. If you are in Houston, drop me a note. We can try the original Madras Pavilion here! By the way, I am going to be in Chennai in Jan/Feb. I would like to meet you or go to a bloggers meet, if possible. Let me know. Thanks.
