Everything's bigger in Texas!!



even the curbs








But obviously not the campgrounds or why is it, that for the first time on our journey we have to make reservations to get a spot?

But always on the run for a new attraction to add to our “real” Lonely Planet, here a travel suggestion, in case you hit the high season: Visit a city that has recently been hit by a disastrous hurricane! Try to match the map with the now existing city. Sure, this meadow over there could once have been the RV Park we are looking for. And those poles are probably for us to imagine how nice it could be to have a stroll along a pier. Well, at least the beach’s location was exactly where it is shown on the map (Only we had to walk a little to find stairs that would still hold up).
And with an oil spill not too long ago you can also have the miles long beautiful beaches to yourself. You might even find some oil leftovers here and there, and collecting oil seems already to have outrun collecting sea shells.
