We are leaving Kerrville TX. this morning and going to Fort Stockton, TX. There is not really much to see in Fort Stockton, so we will probably on stay over night and continue on to the El Paso area tomorrow.
We are still on I-10, where the speed limit is 80 mph. The trucks are really hauling out here. Nothing in sight except the road and the high plains of Texas. I am writing this as we travel along today, but can't enter it until we stop somewhere tonight.
Texas is one big state and will never run out of land to build on. This I-10 is 884 miles long. The Texans say "Everything is bigger in Texas," who am I to argue with that? Can't prove it by me. LOL
As we left today, we are almost half way across the state.
Yesterday we spent in Fredricksburg, TX, a town of lakes and hills and more. A cute tourist town with a history of German immigrants. They have a nice historic district with many small shops and lots of bakeries and restaurants. What to do, what to buy? Oh my!
I really love Texas. Never had we seen so many people have true pride in their state. The Texas flag is flown everywhere along with the US flag. This is a good thing. They sure talk funny here, but they say the sweetest things. I could live in Texas. Although I don't think that I would ever become fanatical about Texas chili or barbecue. Being from Massachusetts, where we don't serve either. Seeing that Texas has so much more than the food, I would be willing to try more often. Have a good week-end. Dawn
