Texas is such a LARGE state. If you have never been here you will quickly learn when visiting that the scenery changes drastically when traveling across the state and you can see some very interesting sites. We were reminded of this when we traveled to Angleton on October 31st from Belton.
You will see some interesting city and town names - Egypt, Moscow, Italy, London, Geronimo, Nacogodoches (oldest town in Texas and where Nathaniel was born), Kyle, and even Rogers. So when we saw the name we had to stop to get a picture of Roger with it.
You will also see a lot of German names. German immigrants came to Texas in the mid-1800's.
Washington County is the birthplace of Texas (1836).
Washington County is also where Brenham, the home of Blue Bell Creameries (founded in 1907). YUM! We enjoyed some Moo-llennium Crunch ice cream when we stopped.
Of course Texas is known of it longhorn cattle.
A Texas restaurant is Whataburger. It began in Corpus Christi in 1950. It is known for it very large hamburgers.
A first for us to see, a Texas size limo pickup truck.
A definite eye catcher, a "bomb" shell in a pasture.
In Southern Texas along and near the coast you will see Spanish Moss growing on trees.
