On March 2, 1836, Texas declared its independence from Mexico. The Alamo, which had been under siege since February 23, would fall four days later, but the Republic of Texas would win its independence on April 21, 1836 at the Battle of San Jacinto.

Here’s the short list of things that I love about Texas.

State Flag

The University of Texas at Austin

Texas Beer: Saint Arnold, Shiner, Real Ale

Tubing Texas Rivers in the Summer

Tex-Mex. Need I say more?

Stubb’s Bar-B-Q

Live Oak Trees

Dublin Dr Pepper

I’ll be leaving for Hawaii tomorrow. I can’t wait to return to paradise. My time there will be split between the Big Island (Hawaii) and Oahu. Can’t wait to see a Hawaiian sunset while sipping on a Mai Thai. I leave you with this…

“Find life experiences and swallow them whole. Travel. Meet many people. Go down some dead ends and explore dark alleys. Try everything. Exhaust yourself in the glorious pursuit of life.” – Lawrence K. Fish
