When I graduated from college and got married, I thought it was Austin. Don't get me wrong, I love Austin but not what it is now. It is so huge now and the urban sprawl is out of control. I rarely meet people who know how to pronounce the roads, what roads are called or can relate to growing up here. It just isn't the home I left.

After riding in Stonewall last weekend, I will say Texas Hill Country. But I want to get even further away from the world, like Leakey or Concan. No one is around except three months of tubing season. Crazy hilly but quiet roads, yup that is heaven. Now if we could just get the windfall to open our adventure vacation company.

I really enjoyed the sleepy coastal towns north of San Francisco when we were out there in February.
