That's a pretty cool description. I bet you were laughing when you wrote this. Yeah people stereotype Texas as being desert and cowboys. People think all Californians surf all day long and spend the rest of their time dreaming about surfing. People think that Miami is just a bunch of Cubans that deal drugs. A lot of people think of the movie Scarface when they think of Miami. People love to stereotype places. Most people that have never been to a place just go off of what they see on TV and think that's the truth. We all know that everything reported in the media is true. I could make a movie about how people in Arizona ride donkeys to work and most people in America that have never been to Arizona will believe it. Most people are easily fooled.

Yeah it was. My wife and I picked October because of the fall foliage. I like New England in general. As far as natural beauty northern New England definitely has better scenery than southern New England. Maine and NH have very good scenery. Newport, RI is cool. I enjoyed all the nice mansions. I was dreaming with my eyes open.

Why do you think Boston has more culture than Houston?
you mean more diverse ethnic groups, more cosmopolitan... more cultural establishments? no.

Are you saying Houston has more diversity and is more cosmopolitan than Boston but Boston has more culture than Houston? Is that what you're saying?
