My central Texas adventure!

At the time of the Texas revolution there were many hispanic settlers in Texas, they were all "Texicans" and fought side by side against the mexican armies. The history of Texas is exceptionally interesting, I highly recommend reading about it if you have any interest.

The book "Aransas : The Life of a Texas Coastal County" is a particularly enjoyable and interesting collection of stories about Aransas County. When the Mexican's originally sent troops to put down the rebellion, they sent some of them by ships which sailed into Aransas Bay up to Bayside. Bayside was the port closest to San Antonio, so it was the busiest back then. Years of farming and erosion have silted the bay in now where it is so shallow its difficult to get a very large watercraft anywhere close to Bayside.

I envy you! Austin and UT are great places to be.
I hope all goes well for you!

Those large roaches, that we call tree roaches or palmetto bugs, rarely come into the house except during really hot dry weather, they come in looking for water. Normally they prefer to be out side and are not a problem.
