I took a dip last night in a hot tub that was the shape of the state of Texas. Of all the states we’ve traveled through so far, Texas seem to be the most proud of their heritage. Lone stars are built into the architecture, the sidewalks and the Texas state flag is seen flying everywhere. Formal attire for a Texan is a cowboy hat and boots! I posted my thought about Texans being serious about being Texan on Twitter and got the reply, “Yes, like glue is serious about being sticky!”

Day 82 – Oysterfest in Fulton, Texas
I saw a flag yesterday, must have been a historical one, that said “Independence or death”
Growing up in Texas as a kid, I totally agree. Most of my family never left there, but going in the Air Force then moving to Alaska satisfied my wanderlust (but not for long!)
Yes, you are correct. I am very proud to be a Texan. I call it Paradise, but, you may wanna call it Texas. Please, come back and spend more time with us.

FYI for all Young Snowbirds readers: Road Trip calendars for 2011 are now available on my site. I had so many images and requests to have them that I have created a calendar of some of my favorites from the road. You can see all the images in the calendar and order one on my photography blog at: http://www.herviewphotography.com/2010/09/30/road-trip-2011-calendars.html
I have just one thing to say, “Don’t mess with Texas!”
