I really enjoyed Texas--we visited Dallas (watched a Cowboys game), San Antonio and other parts of the state.
Sorry for the tangent--the tumbleweeds comment(s) made me think of the time that I spent there.
Not a tangent, Upstate. A lot of the Yanks visiting the Great State of Texas can't wait to get out. I was born just outside Dallas. I've visited a couple times (that I can remember since we left when I was a toddler and visited several times in the years following the move). Home.....there's no place quite like it. I visited Houston almost 2 years ago and it was close but it wasn't home. Visited Dallas a year ago for a wedding, exited the Boeing 737 I arrived on, took a deep breath and realized, "I'm HOME!"
Austin's nice but I haven't explored it like I have Houston and Dallas. I like Dallas, can't stand Houston. San Antone is on my list, probably a long weekend in the Fall of '08 or Winter '09. -Rocky
