The Salt Lick
by klasher
Off the beaten path and a pretty drive through Driftwood brings you to the Salt Lick BBQ Restaurant. This is probably the best barbecue I have ever tasted. Oh-and it's BYOB! We sat on the patio and listened to the live band under the oaks as we toasted each other for being so thrifty to dine at a place without the alcohol tab.
San Marcos
by haimee
San Marcos has been my home for nearly four years now while attending Southwest Texas State University. It's a small town in the heart of the hill country about half-way between Austin and San Antonio. Having grown-up in a small town I have felt more than comfortable here in San Marcos plus I have the advantage of two big cities, both with a lot to offer, just a short trip up or down IH-35.
