I have finally begun messing with Texas. This place has more state pride than China has national pride. Immediately after crossing the border, I was bombarded with giant billboards with messages about “longhorns”,”Lone Stars”,”” and doing *blank* “the Texas way”.
My first stop was Houston which blew me away with its sheer size. I wasn’t expecting such a sprawling city but apparently it’s the 4th most populous in the country. Who knew.
Along with this size is the most complex, convoluted system of highways, overpasses, underpasses and off-ramps I have ever seen. You end up doing legal U-turns and crossing residential streets to jump highways which you navigate for what feels like forever just to find that you have only travelled about a few hundred feet. It’s really odd.
I drove 40 minutes in every direction and across 5 or 6 different highways to get about a mile outside the city to take this photo.

can’t believe you’re already in Texas dude!
2600 miles!
Your photo is so crisp it looks fake. Sure you didn’t set up a model in your hotel room and shoot that? I think Godzilla would fine this scene particularly inviting. -the sister-in-law
