Oh well. Tuck it away for later, maybe. I love Austin for the music & the food, but other than that...only in very small doses. Very small. My favorite part of Texas (besides the coast) is out by Alpine/ Sanderson/ Marfa.
Yeah. The river walk is a tourist trap.
Boy, I would love to get to visit the East Coast’s beaches- Georgia to Maine. (+ sister in Florida & good friend on the coast in NC) That’s the only thing I don’t love about Texas- except for south, it sure takes a long time to get across a state line from here.
Give me an hour, and from here where I am in Maryland, I could get to Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia and (if I drive a bit faster than I should) West Virginia.
Try Old Orchard Beach, Maine for a little scratch your headed-ness.
Buddy of mine and I, back in the days we were previously speaking of, rolled into town and wondered why in the hell everyone was speaking French. Guess the water’s warm enough there for the Quebecois.
The coast of Maine is prettier than any of its postcards.
