Okay, so this place Ive heard so much about lies less than 5 miles away from my house. I thought, for some reason that it was deep in the Hill Country but its not. I live in the Clarkville neighborhood in Austin and its in Tarrytown. So yeah, I decided to go, by myself and experience it. I figured I’d be the only one there since it was early Sunday morning, but I wasn’t. In fact there were more people there than I would have liked. But the diversity of the crowd reminded me that I was in Austin and that people watching was a part of the experience of this place. There were tourist snapping shots, a young family, a man who appeared drunk or in some sort of altered state and the ubiquitous teenage couple holding hands and gazing out over the land. Mt. Bonnell was awesome and I definitely recommend it to anyone. I hope the next time I go its at the end of a lazy summer day just before a huge texas sunset with a sweetie on to my left and my camera on the right.
