road trip dispatch: texas
March 6, 2008, 6:59 pm
the state is so big it gets its own post.
around 6pm (19 or so hours in), we arrive in texas. we immediately get confused (not the first time), but decide to pave our own route to bryan.
sometime after sundown, we pass through a quaint town whose buildings look, no joke, like a theme park re-creation of the old west. no pic. sorry.
arriving in bryan after 24 hours of driving, it becomes clear to us that going to the bar is a really good idea. two beers and 3 jager bombs later, i still think it was a basically good idea. i got to see all those texas a&m hotties!!!!
so these two aren’t technically a& m hotties, but you get the point. anyways, afterward we all went back to jimmy’s friend’s apt (that’s him on the right), we played rock band and passed out and slept like you’ve never seen before.
the next morning, we got up, and did the whole driving thing again.
another quaint town:
and a texas sunset:
(cue wistful sigh)
next up, new mexico and a near death experience.
