Texas roadtrip

We are back from our two week long Texas roadtrip. We really had a good time and I'm surprised that Texas is not more popular as travel destination. In Big Bend National Park we met just a handful of visitors. In Big Bend Ranch State Park, our car appeared to be the only one and though we had no hotel reservations, it was easy to find rooms and get big discounts - even in prime locations directly at the beach on South Padre Island (I hope everyone there is fine after Dolly, particularly the nice folks at La Quinta where we stayed for two nights in a suite with a balcony toward the ocean.

Here are a few pictures , more detailed travel stories later:
