That's cool. Austin would be nice- a lot of good local music. Isn't Houston where it gets really humid during the summer. I HATE humidity. I need to move back to the west coast, or at least Arizona or something. I almost signed on to go to San Antonio on Nov 5th through the 9th as a tag-along to a business trip. Not a good time though with us moving and all, so I didn't. Would have been fun. My family has a historic landmark that I'd like to see in New Braunfels which isn't too far from there- next time I guess.

Yeah, Houston is humid during the summer and dry during the winter. We have great winter nights. Dallas is the opposite.

I don't know about San Antonio, but I hear it's pretty nice. Austin is great too, though I want to spend more time there. What historic landmark does your family have there?

It's really not all that interesting. New Braunfels is a German settled town. My whole family on that side is German. My great-grandfather started a furniture store when he was very young. First he sold all his own furniture and then he switched to selling other people's. Anyways, New Braunfels declared it (Ludewig's Furniture) a historic landmark. So, since it is a piece of my family history, I would like to see it.

That's so cool! New Braunfels is supposed to be a gorgeous part of Texas. Some linguists went there some years ago and discovered that the Germans there were speaking Old German--the language had been preserved for hundreds of years.

Haven't they learned to speak American yet?

My great-grandmother barely learned to speak English, which is funny because now my grandmother barely remembers German. But after my great g'ma passed away, I guess my g'ma had no reason to keep speaking German since she had moved away from New Braunfels, and didn't know anyone else who spoke German.

JDVN1- that's a rather interesting tidbit of information about the linguists in New Braunfels. When my g'ma was little, they actually taught both English and German equally in the schools there. However, when WW2 started, that stopped. I love the study of languages. At one point, I was almost tri-lingual, but I need to start working on my Spanish again. Moving away from So Cal has made it so I didn't need to use it anymore. After I gain my fluency in Spanish, I think I am gonna start on German since I am about 2/3 German.
Of course, that means taking classes in a regular classroom, blech. I think I have been spoiled by taking classes online

Ooh! You can learn sign language!

I often think sign language is the most important language in the US, after English. Those that don't speak English need to learn to get along here, but the deaf can't get along with English.

Remember I said I was almost tri-lingual? Sign language is my 2nd language. (I have a deaf brother)
