side note on this sign....texans do not drive friendly....i almost got ran off the road at one point by a trucker! benefit of the doubt, maybe he wasn't from texas but he for sure didn't read their welcome sign!
there is a saying about the midwest, "if you don't like the weather, wait fifteen minutes." well, yesterday texas looked like the above photo and today it rained from 11am until we got to louisianna at 9pm.
honestly, i don't have much to say about our drive through the lone star state today, because all i can really say is it was a whole lot greener and prettier than new mexico and arizona....
OH!
i saw my first long horn today, in it's natural habitat. there you go that's how orange county girl i am, i've only seen one in the zoo. yep, the zoo, pathetic. but such is southern california. i wish i got a picture but alas he was so far away and i was just in straight awe (at this point i think the roadkill was interesting to me...so much flat land....so so many rocks)
so we blow through most of texas and stop in houston for dinner (and you probably could guess, more coffee) naturally, going through texas all i wanted was some bbq.
and that's just what we got! we found a hole in the wall, smaller than our 390 sqft apartment bbq place. gatlin's bbq. with mary, possibly the friendlist person in the whole state. it was unlike california bbq spicey, yes, yum, get in my belly, please and thank you.
nest, coffee. found a place down the same road called boomtown coffee, it had a giant picachu stuft animal and smelled like cigarettes....and it was so good, after only having hotel, diner, or starbucks coffee i was so happy for a place like this. also, the girl at the counter greeted me with a "howdy" and the girl at the espresso machine was like "howdy? seriously" and laughed.
so, end of the story is, texas is huge and i'm glad be be through it and more than half way to florida, which means more than half way to finally seeing cody again after three long weeks.
