Kendalia, Texas


...in Kendall County.

These boots were made for walking






And that's just what they'll do.

Güero's

Gruber also suggested Güero’s for margaritas. This time we made sure we had clearer directions as to its whereabouts. The waiter plotted out a very detailed map. And we made it there.

Maria's Taco X-press

Upon arriving in Austin, I remembered that my friend Chef Gruber had been there and had found an excellent place to eat tacos. I called him and he gave me a few clues of the location of Maria's Taqueria. After asking in a pharmacy and two 7-11s, we finally found the open arms of Maria awaiting our arrival.
























We liked it so much that we returned for breakfast.

Paris, Texas


Paris, Texas is a film by Wim Wenders that is extremely important to me. Finding out that there actually is a Paris, Texas elated me. But this really does not look like the Paris, Texas of the movie. At least, I can prove that I've been there.

Muskogee Oklahoma USA


"We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy,
Like the hippies out in San Francisco do.
And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,
A place where even squares can have a ball.
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
And white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all."
Even though I'm a shaggy-haired sanfranciscano, we felt like we could be in our place at My Place in Muskogee.
