Phew, long day , about 12 hours....and mapquest said it should take 10ish, we think we were either abducted by aliens or its an effect of time zone shimmy...we aren't sure but we are being entertained by books on tape, Louise Rennison's novels about Georgia Nicolson, a precocious british teenager.
I must say I prefer southern TX to the panhandle, prettier, & the medians were filled with wild flowers & I think it must have something to do with LadyBird Johnson's Wildflower center. very pretty. It rained alot, we decided not to go to Austin, but to spend the extra time in Nawlins with my cousins!
Margaret didn't write anything today, so thats all I have, maybe she'll write in the AM, but really it was uneventful.
Here is a pic & pretty much it looked like this the whole way , after we got out of the 'big bend' section & into 'hill country'
Okay kids, g'night ...
So Mags speaks:
Tex-ass
Hey Kitty Kats,
Well, we are in Houston. Tomorrow we will go to New Orleans (Thank God). Note to self...if you ever get the wild idea to drive across the ridiculously large state of Texas...have someone smack you silly until you regain your senses or lose consciousness....either way you'll be much better off.. Really though, it's all been pretty good so far. We've encountered some ugly rain storms and lightning, but no tornadoes, so that's a bonus. We are currently in the hotel with beer and goldfish, so all is not lost. Must be a zillion cows sort of randomly wandering about in this state. We've seen a few birds we've been unable to identify, so that will be fun to track them down. We keep losing bits of time, too. Keep your skirts on, it has NOTHING to do with beer or goldfish!!! It's either alien abduction or time zone time/space fluctuation. Well, must get back to lounging about.
s'later
