Texas, so different a state

We've been to my sister-in-law's house at Amarillo, Texas. We had the opportunity to hover around the city. Also to canyon state park nearby. What we noticed is the landscape and culture a little different. Mostly white people live here- not many African-Americans or immigrants. Also roads and houses are bigger - no land shortages! Weather very hot and windy, but not much humidity and thus no sweating. Not much rain and the area looks drought-like all the time.
Canyon park is so gorgeous, looks like the little sister of Garnd Canyon of Arizona which is about 12 hours drive from Amarillo.
Amarillo is my last point of exploring American countryside. My wife had already left for BD. From here I'll fly for DC on 27 June and hopefully for BD from there on June 28. I feel previledged to see many great cities across America.
