quickie phone update

we've been on the road for the past 30 or so hours, with a 5 hour break at a tiny motel in oklahoma to rest. The countryside is slowly becoming quite different. It's gorgeous here, with the reaching horizon, dotted with small, dense shrubbery and low lying clouds. I appreciate the unique beauty of Texas. Surprisingly, it reminds me vaugely of Greece.

We should arrive at our first campsite tonight around 7pm cst. I think this trip is going to be amazing. :)
