Wednesday - Day Nine

It took us about 12 hours over two days to get through Texas, we went from torrential rain approaching Houston to clear skies and scorching summer heat into the Hill Country and Plains. It’s obvious to say but Texas really is big, and it’s everything you expect it to be. I’ve been to Texas many times before but always to one of the major cities, except that one time I went horseback-riding at a dude ranch with a dozen bachelorettes, that happened once. To truly see Texas you just have to get in a car and drive across it.
