 pena di visitarlo..
Non hai capito niente del Texas o non ci sei stato.
Austin ad esempio e' la cittadina piu' bella negli USA secondo molti e 
secondo molte classifiche il miglior posto in cui vivere negli USA.

San Antonio e' ricca di storia sulla guerra di indipendenza del Texas dal 
Messico.
I ristoranti che trovi a Austin, in particolare alcune Steak House e altri 
Tex Mex,  sono tra i migliori che abbia mai provato.

Da frommers:
Aah, Austin, laid-back city in the lake-laced hills, home to cyberpunks and 
environmentalists, high culture and haute cuisine. A leafy intellectual 
enclave lying well outside the realm of Lone Star stereotypes, Austin has 
been compared to Berkeley and Seattle, but it is at once its own place and 
entirely Texan.
The University of Texas (UT), vastly expanded beyond the 40 acres deeded to 
it in 1883, is a key source of the city's cultural savvy. Its assets include 
a presidential library; theater, dance, and concert venues; prominent 
literary archives (UT was the model for the wealthy American university in 
A.S. Byatt's novel Possession); and an important art collection. But UT's 
funding comes from oil money, and Austinites display typical Texan fervor 
when it comes to rooting for the Longhorns.
Despite its growing concrete nexus of business parks, many devoted to 
high-tech enterprises, like the one started by UT graduate Michael Dell, 
Austin's heart is green. It has a vast municipal system of parks and 
preserves, and a bustling hike-and-bike trail near downtown's Town Lake. And 
there isn't a species in the region, no matter how small or ugly, that isn't 
vociferously defended if its extinction is threatened.
When they're not exercising or espousing environmental causes -- or even 
when they are -- Austinites love music. Their obsession is large-scale: The 
city has gigantic record stores, a shop devoted solely to music arts, and 
more than 100 live music venues. One of the most appealing aspects of the 
local scene is the wide range of good sounds to be found at unexpected, 
completely original places: barbecue joints, Mexican restaurants, converted 
gas stations. The atmosphere almost everywhere is assiduously laid-back; 
legends like Bob Dylan and Joan Baez still perform at intimate spots like 
the Backyard, and covers in the smaller clubs are still relatively low.
Many Texans who live in faster-paced cities like Dallas or Houston dream of 
someday escaping to Austin, which, although it grew by 41% in the 1990s and 
passed the half-million population mark, still has a small-town feel. 
Meanwhile, they smile upon the city as they would on a beloved but eccentric 
younger sister; whenever an especially contrary story about her is told, 
they shrug, shake their heads, and fondly say, "Well, that's Austin."

quoto.
Il Texas ha moltissimo da offrire, dalle infinite lande del Big Bend NP, 
ai paesini nel deserto, al country, alle cittá di frontiera, i ranch, il 
golfo, le gite a cavallo, i raduni di harleysti, i tramonti infiniti. 
Oltre alla (piacevolissima) assenza di turisti.
C´é un paesino chiamato Luckenback notissimo grazie a un famoso pezzo di 
Waylon Jennings dove si riuniscono ogni sera ottimi musicisti country e 
suonano di fronte alla stufa. Il problema é arrivarci... i collezionisti 
di souvenir country hanno rubato tutti i cartelli stradali :)
Se invece andate a Austin consiglio vivamente l´ostello, situato sulla 
riva di un fiume. La notte, al buio completo, il gestore dell´ostello 
(un texano verace) se ne va sul fiume con la chitarra e inizia a cantare.
