So kottke does this thing about where he’s traveled for the year. I should have done one last year, would have been more interesting. (Durango, CO; NYC; New Orleans, LA, etc.)
The rules are you have to have spent the night in the place for it to count. This year? We’ve got:
Houston, TX
Dallas, TX
McAllen, TX
Marfa, TX
Terlingua, TX
Bastrop, TX
La Grange, TX
Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico
Morgan, TX
Austin, TX
Amarillo, TX
San Antonio, TX
So, with the exception of our 24-hour trip to Monterrey for Mother’s Day, we haven’t left the state. I’m not going to lie, it makes me a little claustrophobic. (Yes, stuck in this itty bitty flyspeck of a state.) On the other hand, we have photos like these:
