Bonjour.
Bonjour,
J’ai effectivement passé 3 semaines au Texas en octobre-novembre 2013.
Ces 3 semaines étaient axées sur :
1/ the Red Steagall cowboy Gathering and western swing festival à Fort Worth fin octobre
2/ the Terlingua Chili Cookoff de Terlingua (la semaine du premier novembre)
3/ Houston Pow How
Les Texans sont texans avant d’être des américains. Ne pas oublier que le Texas est LE SEUL état des USA à avoir été indépendant…
BEAUCOUP de stand de tir et d’armes en circulation. Des français, habitant Houston depuis 25ans : ne JAMAIS utiliser votre ‘klaxon’. Le 44 sort trop facilement.
San Angelo
Miss Hattie’s Bordello Museum, . Concho Ave,325-653-0112, for 50 years this place operated as a bordello till it was closed by the Texas Rangers in 1946, now open as a museum and has all of the same furnishings as it would when it was open. Tours are Monday – Wednesday 4:00 pm & Thursday – Saturday 1-4 pm on the hour. Admission is $5.00

Send Your Valentine
a Valentine from Valentine for Valentine's Day
Santa never wrote you back from the North Pole, did he?
And you've been a little cynical ever since. First of all, if there had been a post office up at the North Pole, it wouldn't have been an efficient USPS office. Your letter might have ended up in a frozen mail sack in a warehouse in Moose Jaw, with a Canadian Postage Due stamp affixed to it. Or maybe Santa burned it to keep warm.
Anyway, here's a chance to get a real postmark from another (near) mythical place. Valentine, Texas - the only adobe post office in Texas that we know of. A contest is held every year and the 2004 postmark design is by Rebekah Santabar, a Freshperson at Valentine High.
Place your St. Valentine's Day card(s) - addressed to the proper recipient(s) in a pre-stamped envelope. Place it in another envelope and mail it to Postmaster, Valentine, Texas 79854.
Postmaster Maria Carrasco will take it from there - insuring that a legible postmark from Valentine is impressed onto each and every card.
Après Fort Worth – San Angelo, la partie San Angelo – Alpine bof bof

Dans le Hill Country, à proximité de Frederickburg
La visite commence à Stonewall, Texas, où vous pourrez visiter le LBJ Ranch situé sur la Pedernales River. Ici, vous verrez le "Texas White House" et entendrez toutes les histoires d'un des fils préférés du Texas, Lyndon Baines Johnson, 36e président des États-Unis, et l'ancienne première dame, Lady Bird Johnson. Retracez l'histoire de la famille Johnson dans la région par la création du ranch dans les années 1860. Vous verrez aussi plusieurs affichages expliquant la vie dans le Hill Country et l'élevage des bovins. Il y a même des charrettes et du bétail Longhorn
Pas sur votre chemin, mais…..
c'est magnifique, lieu symbolique au même titre de Fort Alamo à San Antonio,
Mission Espiritu Santo, or Nuestra Senora del Espiritu Santo de Zuñiga Mission (should you wish to use its full name), was considered one of the most successful missions in Texas. But measuring the success of Spain’s efforts to colonize the New World through its missions program requires a relatively generous rule of thumb; did it manage to convert local Native American populations to Christianity and conscript them into Spanish society (and servitude) as it was designed to do? No. Has the Spanish religious mission doctrine survived into the modern age? Absolutely.
Mission Espiritu Santo, also subject to collapse and resurrection, appears to have followed a similar track. The original stone and mortar structure, established along the San Antonio River (its third location) in 1749, did not survive. But its spirit certainly did. Today, heritage travelers tour a mission building reconstructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps courtesy of Roosevelt’s New Deal. In 1931, the mission site received a historical park designation and resurrection of the building itself began using locally quarried stone. The original, subject of abandonment and recycled as building materials elsewhere, had disappeared by the early 1800s. The reconstruction, a Spanish mission design interpreted by National Park Service architects, also provided an opportunity for archeologists to excavate the site, resulting in the superb selection of artifacts from the original mission structure now on display. Today’s Mission Espiritu Santo may not be quite the real thing but its reconstruction deserves
Bonne journée.
