As Willie Nelson famously said, “Hell, I don’t live in Texas. I live in Austin.” I’ve been all over Texas and Austin is the only place I’d live and did in the mid-80’s.
The climate is rather mild in the winter, although experiencing some cold the past few weeks....and yes, it gets downright hot in the summer :)
The temps seem to mirror Central Florida year round.
German pioneers settled in many of the small towns around Austin, as the town names reflect.
Fredericksburg has the 'must see' Admiral Chester Nimitz museum (of the Pacific War).....
Texas has lots to offer!
