March 3, 2008 - Texas Facts #13: Here I Live, I Can Do No Other.
While I am not allowed to give out too many specifics, I can tell you several things about the part of Texas in which I live and have always lived.
I live “deep in the heart of Texas”, and I’m so happy because I currently live in Texas hill-country. Living in this area of Texas has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. This is what this beautiful area generally looks like:
There are 254 counties in Texas. Austin, the capital, is located in Travis County and is also the nearest large city to where we live. I am so glad we have been able to visit the capitol fairly often; it is such an awesome building (to read more about it click here).
El mapo of le Texas counties:
We actually have one of these on our wall and I enjoy looking at it, showing my little sister where we are, and reading all of the 254 different names.
As I can't post a picture of our specific county courthouse I will instead gladly share with you the link to a very cool site I found. Texas County Courthouses has pictures of all 254 county courthouses. Enjoy at your lesiure.
To top off this entry, the population of the town we currently live in was 1,752 in 2004.
