Road Trip With Rax Day 1

Apparently the airlines did not learn the lesson that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. You would think it's cheaper to fly in that straight line but oh no you must go to B, C, D and E before you arrive at your final destination. Here Everything is Bigger and Better. They have a grocery store called HEB. They have an entire aisle dedicated to salsa, chili verde, and barbeque sauce. And food prices are amazingly low. It's cheap to eat here. And if cowboy boots are your thing, this is a place that has options on every corner. You immediately notice lots of very overweight people. They perhaps haven't seen Supersize Me. Texas donuts are more like bread loaves. We were going to go for the riverwalk and check out the Alamo but the street people bedding down tonight on the church steps outside our hotel made us reconsider. This isn't a safe place at night. Or at least it doesn't look safe. Instead we opted for the locked door, windows up don't stop for nothing or nobody tour from the safety of our airconditioned carYou want to carry a big bat though I am pretty sure they carry guns. At Rachel's hospital there is a sign that says: "We would prefer if you did not bring your gun on the premises" This hospital is just minutes away from our hotel. Speaking Spanish would definitely increase your chances of increasing your circle of friends. Though Rachel assures me that hermit life style might be a good thing. We had delicious soup and salad at Jason's Deli. We head out on the highway tomorrow. Salt Lake here we come. Going from one bubble to the next. First we better consult a map.
