In my previous post, I mentioned that I had no plans for the day and was carefree. After breakfast at Forthright, I decided to explore the University of Texas at Austin. The Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library was my first stop, and I spent a fascinating three hours immersing myself in the life and legacy of the 36th president.
Afterward, I strolled around the beautiful UT campus and stumbled upon The Stark Center for Physical Culture and Sports. The vast collection of photographs dedicated to sports history was truly impressive!
Lunch plans changed course — instead of Costco, I treated myself to some delicious Korean food at Koriente, a highly recommended spot I found during my research. Apparently, La Condesa and Koriente are must-tries in Downtown Austin!
My Miso-Honey-Glazed mahi mahi order had a little twist — their supplier didn't have the fish, but the salmon they offered as a substitute was incredible. The flaky fish on perfectly cooked rice and fresh greens, drizzled with a spicy-tangy sauce, was a flavour explosion!

I couldn't resist adding an order of pork dumplings to the mix — the chives really elevated the flavour of the filling. Feeling incredibly satisfied, I walked the short distance (about 1.2 kilometres) back to the hotel under the Austin sun. My trusty umbrella provided much-needed shade, but it was hot to the touch.

I'm back in the room, charging my phone, before heading to the pool for a relaxing dip.
