Why I Love Texas!
A couple of weeks ago, my wife and I got the opportunity to visit the nearby (in Texas terms, only a four hour drive) city of Austin. One evening we decided to venture out to a local landmark called The Oasis. The Oasis is a restaurant with dozens of multilevel decks hanging from the side of a mountain 450 feet above Lake Travis. It's a picturesque spot and the site of many a wedding reception and party. That evening, like most I understand, people filled the decks drinking excellent Margaritas, eating decent Tex-Mex, and most importantly watching the sunset over Lake Travis. When the sun finally dropped below the distant hills, the crowd erupted in applause and cheers. It was a truly awe inspiring moment. But that's not why I love Texas, or at least not the main reason.
