You make it sound great, but my friend Tom Taskers, originally from Waco, opted for Shepton Mallet in Somerset (its the fishing he says)
Still I am hot to visit Mesquite, for reasons that ought to be obvious by now.

Gwen,
I guess since I've lived on every corner of the Grand State, one might say that yes it's a big place, but there's no place like home. I've left. I've always came back. I love its rich history, and its thick sunsets and rises. From the flat plains of the Western part to the rolling hills on its Southern borders, to the tall piney woods of East Texas, it truly is God's Country. They say you can take the person out of Texas but you can't take the Texas out of the person. I have to believe that to be true.
You've outlined how Texas came to be, in this wonderful tribute to Texas.
Thank You Gwen.

Lisa

I have been ALL over the state, Orange to El Paso by the way of Oak Cliff in Dallas, will never forget Virginia (and I ain't talking about the state). San Antoino when the riverwalk was not a good place to be. Judge Roy Bean's hanging country. Love Texas. So what am I doing in Louisiana? Love the swamps too, I guess.

You enshrine and glorify the history and peoples of the Lone Star State in your own inimitable style...
My favorite place in Texas so far, is Galveston....I absolutely loved my time there...wouldn't mind living there period !
I also enjoyed El Paso !
