Container Transporters Who Know All About Texas
Texas, nicknamed the “Lone Star State,” was among the American states that were formerly independent nations. It only came to join the Union in 1845 as the 28th state. It’s the second-largest state by area, making its geography very diverse. Unlike the common belief, most of the land in Texas isn’t made up of deserts. The state's culture, history, and character attract millions of tourists yearly. The enormous barbeque platters and the classic Mexican food alongside Texas favorites are irresistible Tex-Mex food. The state's rich history is stored in the Caddo Mounds State Historic Site, the Sixth Floor Museum, the Lyndon B. Johnson State Park and Historic Site, and The Alamo. In addition, tourists also enjoy live music at bars, restaurants, and outdoor venues.
Austin is known as the world's live music capital. The SXSW festival and the Dallas Museum of Art have you covered for those whose festivals and art are more to their speed. For the authentic Texan culture, visit the countryside ranches, and while at it, explore the rodeo or the Fort Worth Stockyards. Cities don’t often attract, but Texan cities offer diversity and different experiences worth touring. Contrary to the urban experience, Texas Hill Country will be your favorite vacation camp for its blended culture and German cuisines.
