finally out of Texas

(this is amanda, guest blogging for the car.)
Texas is BIG, but we're finally across to louisiana.

a few thoughts on Texas...
there are crazy frontage roads on both sides of the freeway all the
way across, even in the middle of nowhere

the eastern half of the state seems to be under construction

Johnson space center has cows - Texas longhorns, to be exact. Maybe
so they can jump over the moon

only a few parts of the state look like what we expected - they have
water, so its not particularly deserty.

The Alamo that we visit is not actually the part of the Alamo that
they defended - that part is now a street.

Texas closes early - we never did manage to get BBQ.

and just one note about Louisiana - so far it looks exactly like I'd
expect.

more later
