We're finally heading consistently east. This morning we hit the road for the 1,200km trip to Dallas. We arrived in Texas late this afternoon. First impressions: hot (about 10 degrees celsius warmer here) and flat as a pancake!
The long drive is made easier by listening to Alistair Cooke's "Letters from America" (thank you, Pam). And, of course, what we're seeing along the highway: amusing signs ('Jack's Smelly Pants Laundry', where to go for fried rattlesnake and free 72 ounce steaks), 2km-long trains carrying coal west, the seemingly never-ending strip malls that welcome us to some towns. And most hard to believe of all - the huge numbers of massive camper vans (at least twice the size of what you see in Europe) towing 4x4's.
Day by day we realise what a huge country this is!
