well, ryan and i just finished a week-long trip to visit family and friends in texas. besides the fact that dallas is a concrete jungle, i love texas. the mexican food (and margaritas) flow like water to my soul. the bbq brisket is out of this world (and i do love my alabama pork-b-q). it was such good therapy to visit with friends-some i haven't seen since my wedding and some that i haven't seen since i was 17.
one of the highlights was when ryan and i took a detour through....CRAWFORD, TX! that there (up top) is picture of this god-forsaken town. i thought we'd at least see somebody political or cindy sheehan, the only human we saw was the girl in the souvenir shop. wow, just think about it-a souvenir shop in crawford, tx. let's just say that if you want a life-size cardboard cutout of the W, then this is your place.
actually, we enjoyed austin quite a bit. we walked up to a place called mt. bonnell. a "mt." in texas is only a few stairs up to an overlook, but i was determined to find lance. alas, even though we were looking over his luxurious ex-wife's neighborhood, we didn't see that sleezbag, i mean top-rate athlete.
try texas sometime. you'd never think it, but the state has so much going on. well, just don't go in the summer.
