Texas

It was 4am on Thursday and Eliza and I decided we were fed up of Hollywood! We rushed home, quickly packed a bag and left for Texas (in your mind right now you are wondering why, but people that know me and Eliza don't really ponder on such things). The journey there definitely was an adventure to say the least! We've explained the story so many times to different people, that I really don't feel like going into details again about how I was this close |    |  to getting DEPORTED! To make a long story short, we got stopped at the "dangerous" El Paso border patrol at 4am on Friday....Eliza didn't have any form of ID, I had an expired license. We were told to pull over, and at least 6 officers questioned us, asking about our legal status in America. I've never been so scared in my life (My Visa situation here is not going smoothly!). A good 45 mins later, some finger printing and some sweet talkin'; we were let loose. We got back in our car, continued down the highway (just to clear ground) and simultaneously, and coincidentally, just SCREAMED, at the top of our lungs for about 10 seconds!! We spent the next hour talking and talking and calming ourselves down about what just happened. The next thing we know, we're stuck on the highway in deserted west Texas with NO gas...I knew we were screwed because I had studied the map previously, and noticed how desolate that part of Texas was. We made it to a small town that I found on my Iphone, called "Balmorhea". The gas station we were heading for was closed. The town (no joke) was one of the scariest ghost towns I've been to. Even a family we saw getting into their car were scared to talk to us!!! Getting straight to the conclusion, we were saved by some scary mexican guy 1 hour later. After 23 hours of driving, two speeding tickets, a border patrol interrogation and running out of gas in the middle of nowhere, we made it to Austin.
