ボンネル山
If you like walking in nature, this area is for you.
Sunbathe on the grassy hill or jump into the constant 68-74 degree spring-fed pool. I highly recommend paying the $3 for entry to the pool because it is upstream of where everyone takes their dogs, and it has bathrooms & showers. Please note that it is topless-optional.

Starbucks
1201 Barbara Jordan BlvdLiterally the closest coffee shop to my place.
Because you're in Texas, eat a steak! They offer the full menu in the bar area without a reservation. It would be a long-ish walk, with a steep uphill on the way home, but it's good to get the blood flowing after a gluttonous meal!"
