Texas Chapter

Texas Happenings







Well.... I got around to thinking its been a long time since i last wrote on this- something like 10 months!! So today i thought i might write again--- might be something to do with all the espresso in my starbucks this morning!!!




Life here in Tejos is going well, had to believe that ive been here over 11 months!! My contract hours are decreasing and so im getting excited planning whats next!! Im going to be doing shorter term assignments so it means i get to travel and see more of the USA, looking forward to it. Although currently i have no idea where im going from here!




Its been great having so many visitors down here, its been fun doing the tourist things and seeing places i didnt know existed. Recently when Mike came down we got in a bit of hiking- one place we went was to the Lost Maples National Park, im looking forward to going back to see the leaves changed in a couple of weeks.








Summer is well and truely over now, but it was great to get in some toobing down the local rivers, hiking, sun bathing( i even got a slight tan!) and catching up with friends/family. Fishing at Canyon Lake was fun and travelling through the beautiful Texas hill country with the top off the jeep has been a blast.

Rare Visitor

We had a visitor this morning on our doorstep! These are somewhat rare lizards and, according to Eldon, get a lot bigger than this. I thought it was big enough!!! We attempted to get it to raise its frill, but it was too quick for a photo.
