Bats in Austin

So we spent a weekend in Austin recently to get away from the Houston area. We highly recommend the Hotel San Jose if you ever go. It's in the middle of a great neighborhood. Anyway, we took a walk down the street from our hotel in Austin to see the 1.5 million bats fly from under the bridge where they live. It was so hot out! It smelled like bat poop by the bridge and an officer directing traffic told us to stay on top the bridge...because "that ain't raindrops you're feeling" under the bridge. Ew. We stayed on top the bridge.Mom on the bridge.
