So we finally arrived at our destination after a long few months and a very long road trip. We did see some very "Texan" things along the way.

Like this Texan welcome sign...

The large Texan ranches...

And of course the giant pick-ups!

Arriving in Laredo coincided with the only time we actually got lost. In other words, we pulled a "Darin"! :) We managed to get to the Days' Inn, and met up with our new colleagues (Lots of Canadians!). We played some games, talked a little, and went to Logan's for supper. It was neat seeing our line-up of vehicles with license plates from all over North America! Nothing much eventful happened except that our hotel sucked after all the fancy places we'd been staying in for cheaper!!

We didn't get to see much of Laredo, except that we're not sure why we've heard all the horror stories people have been telling us. It seemed like a pretty nice little town. We even saw a restaurant named "Luby's" - I've taken a photo for you, Natasha!
