THE AWESOME STATE OF TEXAS

nickers1
Today we went into the largest city around here, Victoria. It has all the places to eat, a mall, Lowes and all the other big stores. We ate at a place called Uncle Mutts Bar-B-Que. The sign on the door said they open about 10:30. One of the things we thought was kind of funny is that there is a store called Rent-a-Tire. You can go in and rent not only a tire but fancy wheels. I guess it's in case you want to impress someone. But all in all we really love Texas. It is a very people run state not a politically run state. Everyone is really nice, even the cashiers in wal-mart. They sell different kinds of things here than they do in California. Sweet tea is really big in the south. You can even order it at McDonalds. We have fallen in love with sweet tea and always keep some in the frig. Yes, we go thru alot of mosquito repellant, and the truck is always dirty but on the whole people smile and wave to everyone, say excuse me and hold the door open for you. We love the slow, easy going lifestyle. So, when we leave here we will miss not only Texas but the great people we have met here.
