I have actually visited Texas and like it once I get out of the northern part. I heard some great music in Austin, ate some terrific Mexican food in San Antonio, as well as doing the whole River Walk thing. In Corpus Christi I bird-watched and stuffed myself with fresh caught shrimp. The Texans I met were nice friendly people.

I worry about my friend, though. She has lived in dinky little Cortez (pop. 10,000) her entire life and doesn't have big city smarts. And I can't believe she's going to make a living selling bar classes with ads on them. We don't have anything like that here - not even in Denver. Do ya'll actually drink out of painted glasses?

East Texas is nice... rolling hills with cattle and trees. I spent some time there when I had to leave the grassy knoll in Dallas rather quickly.

Austin area is much prettier in my opinion.

The Hill Country North of San Antonio is beautiful. I could live there if it wasn't so far from the ocean.

Memories of East Texas
And piney green rolling hills
Covered in the springtime
With golden daffodils
Rowing on Sandy Lake come April
Harvesting hay in June
Sitting by the road watching well-fires burn
By an old October moon

Ahh....sounds beautiful. I've never seen Texas rolling hills...how sad! Texas isn't flat, but Houston sure is. Btw, I couldn't find any Michelle Shocked "Memories of East Texas," but I sure found lots of its covers. :p
