    Hi. Haven’t seen your posts in a long time. How have you been?

    Where in Texas did you go to? Did you like it? I can’t imagine myself liking Texas except maybe Austin.

    South Texas for a family emergency. It was cool to see the coast, but we were mostly in one of the larger suburban parts of the city, I think. A lot of it was a blur, but not too bad. I think I still had my stereotypical view of Texas in my head, so I was worried about getting a barrage of right-wing bigots harassing me and my partner, but that didn't happen so that's good. We went in the dead of summer, so it was hot, but the breeze from the coast helped take some of the edge off.

    I'm Australian, so I've only been to the USA for conferences, although I've usually managed to get a bit of sight-seeing as well. So I've spent time in:

    California
    Oregon
    Massachusetts
    Pennsylvania
    Indiana
    Missouri

    On the other hand, I have spent time in every Australian state (there are only six) and two internal territories.

    When I was younger, my mom and I went to Savannah, Georgia and then North Carolina Beach for a week during summer vacation.
    It was mainly driving by car.
    Some weeks ago, we headed to Roswell, Georgia to pick up pine pellet litter from Tractor Supply store. We also passed a castle which was very cute and it had gnomes at the entrance.:european_castle:

    All 48 contiguous states except Maine. I did land in Bangor for a short layover and met former President William Jefferson Clinton. But if flight layovers don’t count then it don’t count.

    Interesting. I would like to see the Dallas Fort Worth area. I was thinking about maybe trying something new and for the career I am going into, it would be really good.
