Well actually, if I ever get a chance to visit properly with my sister, we definitely plan to visit Iowa. Middle-America is what it's all about...

But you should have fun in Texas. Just don't assume those Republican sexist, homophobic people down there represent all the U.S.
It has been a long time since I've been to Texas. I was in El Paso with my Mexican-American college boyfriend one summer, and we went across the border to Juarez several times, which was all very interesting. I like seeing the historic forts.
I hear Galveston is nice. Will you just be in Houston, though? Hopefully some Houston Texans know what's nice to see there.

Just Houston, yeah. I wonder though, how much is Houston like the rest of the U.S. (excluding New York and San Francisco), architecturally, culturally, people-wise? Are(n't) big American cities pretty much all the same?
