Hello there chic!
Well, I was in the car traveling across ten states in 5 days before we finally reached our Austin destination, so I'm afraid I wasn't there very long before I left again. (I was going so I could say goodbye to a friend moving back there)
I'll just have to go back sometime. :-)Austin is quite the college town isn't it? I visited the University of Texas (that is one big school!). I have a brand new tie dyed "Keep Austin Weird" T-shirt. :-)
I liked it there a lot. I think it's a nice city to live in/near.
I ate at a place called "Sonic"- fast food drive up place that I don't have where I live. It was very good. It was pretty warm there considering it's February.
I like Texas a lot, but it's a different world than the one that I come from. It seems I am a "liberal". I sort of suspected it, but it has been confirmed ;-). I was in a pretty rural part of Texas first, then Austin. (and a bunch of states before that)
I like to travel I guess. People live so differently in different places. I knew that of course before, but it's good to get a sense of it first hand. There are so many places to visit!
but for now...I'm glad to be "home"
-best regards,
sleepytraveler

Sonics and Dairy Queens are all over the outskirts of Texas. They are great. Whenever I get to travel, I love to stop at one in a small town and get great fast food. Sometimes it is the main place (one or the other) in one of those just drive through on your way to some place else towns. My parents grew up in those kind of small places up north, and I've always wondered what that could be like.
If you felt liberal in Austin, you're either a commie pinko, or you were in the wrong part. No offense please! I'm just joking that Austin is the most liberal major city in texas.
I love the aimless feeling of travel, like those couple of days are just what they are and no more, and there is a destination, or home at the end.
welcome back,
James K

Darn sleepygirl, I live about a mile from UT campus. Could have bought you a cherry-limeaid at Sonic.
I hope you can come back sometime and stay a while. Glad you got to visit.Phil

I actually got that feeling more on the way to Austin, in the more rural part of Texas I was in, and on the way there.
> I love the aimless feeling of travel, like those couple of days are just what they are and no more, and there is a destination, or home at the end.It is nice to feel aimless for a while anyway.

Yeah, they're proud of their weirdness. I guess we all are. Its why Austin is usually everyone's favorite place in TX.
> I ate at a place called "Sonic"- fast food drive up place that I don't have where I live. It was very good.
That made me laugh! I sure wasn't expecting you to say Sonic! Think of someone saying that about the most common fast food place around in your area. Oh, and DID you get a cherry-limeaid? Its s-o-o-o good! Especially in the summer when its triple digits.
>It was pretty warm there considering it's February.
Yeah, its warmer down there than up here, but its been pretty nice here. We're supposed to get a cold front this weekend though and it'll be down in the 20's. Yikes!
> I like Texas a lot, but it's a different world than the one that I come from. It seems I am a "liberal". I sort of suspected it, but it has been confirmed ;-).
This is what I've been trying to explain for a long time, in many different posts - what an outsider I am being a liberal in Texas. Isn't it crazy? And smothering?
> I like to travel I guess. People live so differently in different places. I knew that of course before, but it's good to get a sense of it first hand. There are so many places to visit!
Yeah, I'm dying to see the New Mexico/Arizona area. I've seen Hawaii, the mountains, the beaches on the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean, the New England area in the fall, and Minnesota in the winter, but I've never seen the desert.
> but for now...I'm glad to be "home"
Its always good to be home. I'm glad you had a safe trip back.

It was quite a different world. Yes, smothering to me, but different strokes for different folks I guess.
> Yeah, I'm dying to see the New Mexico/Arizona area. I've seen Hawaii, the mountains, the beaches on the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean, the New England area in the fall, and Minnesota in the winter, but I've never seen the desert.I've seen New Mexico/AZ - beautiful places - I went across northern AZ from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon (stopped at many places along the way), and I was in Albuquerque for a few days - great mexican food :-) If I were to go back to New Mexico, I'd go to Santa Fe - supposed to be some nice art there
I gasped when you mentioned the pacific! I want to go there so much! I have a nice big redwood picture in my bedroom! I really want to see Seattle, and Hawaii is paradise right!? and the mountains - one day, one day

Don't get me wrong, I love Texas. But I would like to see what its like to be in a different political atmosphere.
> I gasped when you mentioned the pacific! I want to go there so much!
It was a brief visit to LA. I only saw the beach from the car. I'd love to go back. Maybe to a less urban area. Although, almost anywhere is less urban than LA.
My friends from San Fransisco just got through visiting for a few days. They always say I can visit anytime. Someday maybe I'll actually have the money.
>I have a nice big redwood picture in my bedroom! I really want to see Seattle,
Me too! But then, I want to visit everywhere. When I was younger and skinnier, I debated becoming a flight attendant just to get to travel. But when I heard you had to wear your makeup a very specific way, like you were REQUIRED to wear blush, mascara and lipstick (and your lipstick was supposed to be visible from across the room), I felt it was too controlling. Little did I know that ALL jobs are controlling in some way or another.
>and Hawaii is paradise right!?
Un-freaking-believable! And I didn't even get to see the more secluded parts that are suppose to be amazing. I really can't even describe how amazing it was. It seems like a dream now. I hope to return someday.
>and the mountains - one day, one day
I visited a cousin in Colorado. The mountains are... I can't even think of a word for them. I feel like they're alive somehow.
I have a weird obsession with nature, the earth, and all natural wonders. I've read about this philosophy called Pantheism - it seems to describe me perfectly. I didn't know other people felt that way, I thought I was just weird. I can become euphoric just looking at a canopy made of tree limbs. Seeing the ocean is almost orgasmic to me.
Uh, was that too much information?
