Beating the heat 

When the heat is here, the best way to cool off is head to Barton Springs. Located at Zilker Park, It's $3 for the day or free before 9 am and after 9pm. It's a man made pool about 200 metes long and 30 feet wide, no deeper than 5ft but colder than the arctic ocean. ...OK not really but 70 degrees still makes the teeth chatter. 

This past week I took a late night dive and returned for a relaxing Friday morning swim. Nothing felt so nice. Barton Springs is a fun place to chill out. It's typical to dip in, then warm up on the hill. If you are ever in Austin, Barton Springs is a must.
