Welcome to Austin!

Today our Brazilian delegation traveled to Austin, the capital of Texas! Our first stop was a "bat boat cruise" along Lake Lady Bird (named for Lady Bird Johnson, first lady of the USA in the 1960's). Austin is famous for housing the largest urban bat colony in the USA. Students experienced the bat colony first-hand at dusk when millions of bats came out from under the bridge in order to feed in near-by fields for the evening. It was a thrilling and unique experience!

Our evening ended with a delicious Mexican dinner and with a short walking tour of the awesome University of Texas.
