After a celebrating the american national day with good food, drink, fireworks and entertainment we headed south in Texas(a place several people we should drive around and not thru).
After getting tired of driving with cruize control and with nothing to see or do along the freeway, we decided to take off the freeway and use the smaller roads thru several smaller cities.
The first place we came to was a very small town ,with a lot of german and swiss street names,
were we walked around and checking it out.
I went into a place called The Stone Cellar which turned out to be a great wine place were i tasted several good wines (Lars driving at this point) and bought a couple of them.
Next stop Smithville.
Smithville is a typical small american town with a small towncenter full of antique stores(that´s not so typical though).
Many movies have been recorded in this town several local people told us; Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Sean Penn had just been there and finished a movie which will be out during 2009.
We meet some ,more, great american people in this town which sent us away with homebaked cookies and "stay safe!".
By the way; what most people ,at least those who know were Norway are, is that it is small, cold, rich and far away. Today a guy asked me if Norway STILL is a part of the USSR. The USSR? No dude.
The climate has changed. Here in Texas the humidity is crazy. You are instantly covered in water if you step outside. Hot!
We were supposed to end up in Gelvaston but instead we ended up in Texas City so tomorrow we we´ll take a trip to the Gelvaston "island" and the head towards New Orleans.
I haven´t taken soo many pictures yet but here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/39709083@N05/) you can fine some off them.
