On the way to Dallas

After looking at a map and seeing that avoiding I-35 (aka the highway of death) would only add 30 minutes to our trek for the day, we opted to take the back roads through central Texas. When Gus awoke from his 2 hour nap, we stopped at Hico (town motto "Where Everybody is Somebody") for some Chicken Express and a picnic under a tree beside a church.
