Sometimes I don't know what country I'm from since I live so close to the US/Mexico border here in south Texas. Contrary to popular belief, San Antonio is NOT south Texas. I live 4 hours south of San Antonio. I can jump in my car and be drinking a real Mexican margarita in 10 or 15 minutes (no exxageration).
