LFTR – Texas On Second Thought

From my previous post on Texas, I was surprisingly positive about my stay in San Marcos. (I even surprised myself) It is true, the landscape where I was staying was very green. The whole area from Austin to San Antonio used to be a wasteland but now it’s fully populated with people, malls, strip malls, outlets, and chain restaurants. Some might say that what I saw between Austin and San Antonio was not really an improvement. I believe it is. As I traveled further west today to Pecos Texas the beautiful landscape I described in my previous post, lasted for about 30 miles. Then came the landscape I remembered, hot, dry,flat and well boring. I just traveled 300 miles of most soul sucking scenery you’d ever want to see. Enjoy the pictures – or don’t.

Welcome to Texas.
