The Curse of Kerrville

Kerrville is such a cute town, truly it is. It's small, without being small-town. There are things to do, places to go, stores at which to shop (both big chains and cute locals). I just liked the feel of the town.

I hate the atmosphere surrounding the town. The physical environment is not for me.

See that beautiful tree? It's like death to me. Apparently cedar trees, that grow all over Texas, are pollinating right now. Causing much mayhem for me. Oh, and if you think you're free and clear because you aren't allergic to cedar, if you arrive in Texas at this time, you're prone to developing that lovely allergy. Yippee.

But this isn't just Kerrville's curse to bear, the entire state of Texas is covered by the cedar pollen right now. So even though we've left Kerrville to be in Big Bend, I'm still having difficulty breathing and seeing. We did stay for 8 nights, though. The full hookups thing swayed me. I loved being in one place, getting back into a rhythym of the kids doing their math, cooking, hanging out. But now we're having short stop after short stop in order to see what we want to see while getting out of Texas "quickly." Man, Texas is huge. Vast allergy laden state.

I leave you with the beautiful sunset we saw at Big Bend, so you know that I know it's not all bad.
