When people mention exotic places they would like to visit, Texas is probably not the first one that comes to mind.

As a teenager I fantasized about being an American girl, growing up in Texas, going to an American high school where kids had lockers — we didn’t have any lockers in Italian high schools — and where there were cheerleaders and football players.
