ON THE ROAD AGAIN
I admit, that of ' on the road is the thing that I like more of this strange country. It gives me a sense of extraordinary freedom. Yet, theoretically it can be done in Europe. But he has the same taste; not even think about it in these terms, when you're in Italy. Maybe it's because we tolls you lender and is not always easy to get around by car in the city, at least not without a dose of tranquilizer! Here everything is arranged for you, travel on four wheels:
1 - first of all not expensive to rent a car, brand new , with lots of various insurance and peace of mind if you break something you just call them, wherever you are, (the beautiful chains) that you are taking and give you a new car.
2 - petrol costs much much less than in Italy ($ 3 per gallon).
3 - there are also motels in the middle of nowhere and all prices.
4 - eat well, but not in abundance and cheap.
5 - there are never problems with parking (except downtown).
6 - the roads run straight and without traffic is a marvel.
7 - street names are composed of numbers and cardinal directions: easy to navigate without a map.
8 - the machines have the cruise control , the actions and you forget you're driving.
Since spring break, so we decided to 
this time give us a ride to the east, in search of the heart Spa Arkansas, the Natural State, or Hot Springs. I do not but I never expected the Arkansas Natural State is full of parks and lakes . Not by chance is a tourist destination for many Americans, who come to enjoy lakes, hot springs and hiking trails in the shade of pine forests. Very relaxing. To get there I crossed a small piece of Texas, and to return a piece of Oklahoma. Texarkana is a city located on the border between Texas and Arkansas (the name is a mix ) e Texoma è il nome della regione tra il Texas el'Oklaoma! Non conosco altri esempi , ma sono sicura che in America ce ne sono moltissimi posti ibridi. Un altro posto ibrido è la mitica Paris-Texas, che è stata la prima tappa del mio viaggetto. 
Non potevo non andarci. Dopo Wenders quel posto non è più stato un punto sulla cartina ma un luogo mentale, onirico che infatti non ha niente a che vedere con la ridente cittadina che gode del primato di miglior paese di sosta degli Stati Uniti (che poi pagherei a sapere chi li dà questi ricoscimenti!). Comunque Paris sembra davvero un posto piacevole e ci vuol del senso dell'umorismo per innalzare una Tour Eiffel adornata di cappello da cow-boy in Texas! Especially since the pictures looks huge and seems to live a joke! And good Texans!
