Goodbye, South Texas!

Today is my last full day in south Texas, and it's going to be a doozy: there's plenty of thunder, lightning and buckets of rain to go around. Who knew that tornado season could last until Thanksgiving? Anyway, it's now time to eat the last meal at Taco Cabana (the Texas version of Taco John's), drive by the Alamo one last time and say goodbye to Ft. Sam Houston...at least for awhile (you usually wind up coming back here for more classes eventually). It's still hard to process that I'll be in Germany in only 8 days...it still feels like that's a loooong time from now, although with the movers coming to get my stuff today, it's definitely feeling a little more real. I'm looking forward to the adventure, though, and hopefully, bits and pieces of it will be deemed blog-worthy, so stay tuned! Plus, I have a feeling that the culture shock of my first trip to the south later this week for Thanksgiving is going to make for some interesting moments, as well! With any luck, I'll be able to snag some time on a computer here and there to post some more excerpts from the journey. Have a good week and a great Thanksgiving! And mom: Have a great birthday! Love you!
