Just outside is highway 79. Take it south and follow the back roads basically west. Stop often. Savor the differences as East Texas fades into West Texas. Spend a lot of time in the cafes and bars that are in all the small towns Stay off the larger roads. You will discover a part of this country that only Sonny C is recording. Some of Robert Frank's strongest images were taken in these places. Then, sometime when you have another six or seven days off, go to NY or Boston, or San Francisco. This time don't drive, walk the neighborhoods, talk to the bodega owners, chat with the young men at the corners. Do the same in the museums and the concert halls. Spend some time at 2:00am talking to the girls on the corners by the bars. Now you've seen a good portion of America.
