Our public transportation sucks for the most part, and we regularly spend an hour one way to drive somewhere. We have plenty of sights, both historic and modern, but Texas is bigger than most European countries-- I'm not trying to be arrogant here, it's just that, well... we have a several huge cities, but there's a lot of rural or semi-rural areas between them, and the cities themselves are pretty huge, so you can expect to spend a lot of time traveling, and do you really want ot travel in the hot Texas sun on foot, with black asphalt beaming heat back up at you?

Melissia's not joking. Texas compares to France in size.
on the positive we have the world's largest water park. Take that Fresno!
