This was definitely a fun post to read. Thanks for the entertainment, Anil. Great points about the state that boast a 72 oz steak dinner. LOL!

Funny you should mention that – I ordered a veggie plate on night (thinking it would be vegetarian) and found bacon in my green beans. Your server must have been very confused since Texas is all about steak.

It is huge! Check out this map I found comparing the size of Texas to Europe:

The camera spook must be out and around as my trusty Canon camera has permanently broken. Repair is almost as much as a new one. Very disheartening. People I’ve met from Texas seem to be bigger than life (like the state). I always recall a work colleague (some years ago now so I’m sure things have changed a little) who asked for a vegetarian meal to have a meal turn up with meat but more vegetables than the toekn offering with most other meals. The restaurant simply couldn’t get the principle of someone wanting a meal without any meat at all in it!! Persistence paid off but the waiter may still tell a variation of the same story about some strange Australian dude who wouldn’t eat meat…

What a fun post Anil! I can’t say that I saw much of Texas, but I have driven through it twice on my cross-country trips to Cali…all I remember is that the state is absolutely huge! It feels like you’re in Texas for days!! And you’re right about portion size – I was amazed the couple of meals I had!

I think that’s how many of us feel about home, wherever that is!

Texas is indeed a fascinating place. I grew up outside of Dallas, and though I liked living there, I always wanted to get out.

Now that I’m out of Texas, all I want to do is go back (but just to visit – it’s a lot to handle sometimes)!
