My friend lives in Austin, Texas, but I've never been there. Austin is the capital of Texas.
That's neat, I wonder if there's some cool history behind Austin, do you know anything about it?
It's actually the 11th most populous city in the United States and the 4th most populous in Texas, as well as the fastest growing large city in the USA.
How interesting, I had no idea. Do you know how many people live there?
As of July 1, 2016, it was 947,890, but it is probably more now
Probably over a million now I bet. Are there any interesting museums or statues in Austin by any chance?
I'm not sure but I do know that the city is home to many lakes and waterways like Lady Bird Lake, Barton Springs, McKinney Falls and more.
Those sound lovely and probably beautiful to see. Can you tell me more about Lady Bird Lake?
