i stupidly brought my parents here without bringing water. we were all dying of thirst after climbing the stairs. fortunately we made it back down alive, and then on the way to barton springs (yes, i was taking them to all those Places To Take Visitors) we discovered Uncle Billy's. dad enjoyed the local beer, mom and i enjoyed the water. ahhhh. the bbq was good, too.

oh, but this entry is about mount bonnell. right, well, what more can you say? excellent views of rich people's houses. i mean, you can still sort of see downtown, and of course the water below looks nice, if you can get a peek at it past the other sightseers.
