The change of scenery was simply awesome.  The rolling hills, the rise and fall of the earth beneath me, the 3D sunset, the twisted brush alongside the roadway, it all added to the rustic feel of our weekend adventure.  It was a getaway for a day.  A short hop, skimming across county lines and farm roads.  Intersecting with I-10 and west of I-35.  Crossing over from the coastal plains into Texas Hill Country, where the earth lifts you up to touch the sky, and you can see for miles and miles.

Spring break is coming up.  I first thought of Corpus Christi, and then Austin.  Now I’m thinking of going back into the Texas Hill Country.  If you haven’t been, then it’s time to go.  Check out Wimberley, Dripping Springs and San Marcos for a start, and then keep going west toward Kerrville.

It’s as if we’re seeing history repeat itself. The heated presidential debates, the upcoming election, conflict at home and abroad, an unpopular war, and a wounded soldier’s story.

The Film bodyofwar.com: Body of War is a documentary by Ellen Spiro and Phil Donahue. This hard hitting documentary will be screened March 13th at the SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas and opens in select theaters nationwide in March.
