Jet settin’: 2 days in Austin, TX.

Sometimes, you need to get the hell out of town—on the double. 

There’s a weird, melancholic high in running away from something by getting on an airplane and ordering a screwdriver at 8:45am. Like blowing out a trick candle.

[Old livery beauty.]

[The meal of a lifetime at Uchiko in Austin. Wagyu sizzling on a hot rock.] 

[Conducting a bit of business on the patio at the Hotel St. Cecilia.]
[I call this “an Instagram is born”—girls getting a shot in front of the “i love you so much” graffiti.]


  [Taking a dip in Barton Springs’ chilly waters. Numb on the inside, and now the outside. Not pictured: gorgeous shirtless male swim team.]
  
  

At the Hotel St. C, they’ll tell you there’s one rule: plastic wine glasses by the pool. I followed it.
