I went to the state of Texas in the USA to visit some immersive English Language schools. I figured; “It’s Austin, how cold could it be?” I made it San Francisco before I became stranded. Texas, it seemed, was frozen.
My sister-in-law lives in the state of Idaho. She said to me “How cold can it be? I bet Idaho is colder.” I told her she was right, Idaho was colder, but the airports were still open. Texas was frozen.
So I spent the night with friends in San Francisco and tried again the next day. When I arrived at the airport all flights into Texas were cancelled, except for mine. Still frozen it seems.
I finally caught my very full flight and we headed to Texas. My daughter-in-law warned me that the power was out, but it should be back on before I arrived.
The power remained cut off for three days. The only heat we had was a gas fireplace, the only light was from candles and flashlights. I ended up not visiting any of the schools on my list due to the combination of frezzing rain and no power, but I did make some new memories.
