Austin Alone: A Solo Travel Guide for Women 50 and Over

Austin, tacos, bats and Barton Springs.

Start with a breakfast taco counter, swim at Barton Springs, and watch the bridge bats at dusk, then take the bar seat facing the open kitchen at Caroline, with a rideshare after midnight.

Eat alone: food-truck pods on South First Street, brisket, Tex-Mex and queso.

See: South Congress, East Austin, Hyde Park, the Hill Country, Lockhart.

Feel safe: a rideshare after midnight, and the heat taken seriously.

Day plans, hotels by budget and honest safety notes. EPUB ebook.
