Here, in alphabetical order, are the foreign cities (and a few countries too) you can visit in Texas. I'll leave the driving routes up to you.
Athens
Located in North East Texas in Henderson county, Athens is the self proclaimed Original Home of the Hamburger as well as the Black Eyed Pea Capital of the World. It's a lovely quaint little town and has some excellent antique shopping there.
Corinth
Corinth is up in North Texas in Denton County between Dallas and Denton. The city calls itself the Gateway to Success.
Cypress
This one is a little unincorporated area in Harris County just North West of Houston proper. There's not much historical claim to fame here, but it does have Tin Hall, Texas' oldest continuously operated dance hall. Tin hall has been in operation since 1889.
Dublin
Any fan of Dr. Pepper knows about Dublin, Texas. Dublin home to the oldest Dr. Pepper bottling plant, which has operated continuously since 1891, just six years after it's creation in nearby Waco, Texas.

Egypt
Egypt is the oldest community in Wharton County, Texas, located about a hour's drive South of Houston on US 59. It was first settled in 1822. In 1836, it was Company F of the First Regiment of Texas Volunteers, recruited by William J. E. Heard and based in Egypt, which captured the Mexican Army in the Battle of San Jacinto.
Eldorado
Located in Schleicher County in West Texas, is the little town of Eldorado. Most recently Eldorado was briefly in the spotlight as it is the closest incorporated town to the Yearning for Zion Ranch, the new home to the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, in which over 400 children were taken into Child Protective Custody on April 4, 2008. Other than that it's been a relatively uneventful town of less than 2000 permanent residents.
Italy
Properly pronounced "it-lee" and not "i-ta-lee," Italy, Texas is located on I-35 in Ellis County. One of the main things that people see as they whiz through the town at 70+mph on the highway is the Monolithic Dome Institute housed inside Bruco, the Texas Italian Caterpillar.

Jamaica Beach
There's not much to say about Jamaica Beach really. It's a small community which was only incorporated in 1975 and has just over 1000 people living there at this time. It's located on Galveston Island and is just South of the State Park on 3005.
Malakoff
Just West of Athens is the community of Malakoff, named after the Russian fort Malakoff which had a key role in the siege of Sevastopol in the Crimean War. If you're heading in to Athens off Highway 31, you'll go right through it, so don't blink.
Moscow
Located North of Houston off US-59, Moscow is all but a Ghost town now. However, it was once Polk County's largest town with a population of 228 back in 1880.
Palestine
About an hour's drive South of Athens on Highway 19 is Palestine, named actually for an early settler's home town of Palestine, Illinois, and not the country. Palestine was most recently in the news in February 2003 as the resting place for many of the pieces of the space shuttle Columbia disaster.
Paris
Proudly hailed as the "Second largest Paris in the world," Paris is located in Lamar County, 98 miles North East of the Dallas - Fort Worth metroplex. The current Eiffel Tower replica in town is actually the second, as the original, made of wood, was destroyed by a tornado. The new copy added a Texas touch with a large cowboy hat on top. Of course, if you're a fan of the movie Paris, Texas, you won't find anything movie-related here as the movie has no scenes in town, and not a single piece of footage was filmed in the town.

Roma
Located in Starr County, along the Rio Grande, Roma is one of the main ports of entry from Mexico to the United States via the Roma-Ciudad Miguel Alemán International Bridge, a suspension bridge built in 1928. It is an old town, having been founded in 1765 and finally incorporated in 1936. Before Texas gained it's independance from Mexico in 1836, Roma was actually under Spanish rule under the jurisdiction of Mier, Mexico.
Turkey
Situated in the panhandle of Texas in Hall County, this tiny little town has a claim to fame that makes it worth the trip if you're into Western Swing music. You see, Turkey is home to Bob Wills, the King of Western Swing. So while the Big Ball may be in Cow Town, the last Saturday of April, is reserved for Bob Wills Day, and thousands will descend on the little town for some great music and BBQ.
Victoria
Named for General Guadalupe Victoria, the first president of an Independant Mexico (and not Great Britain's Queen Victoria), Victoria is situated at the intersection of US 59, US 77, and US 87 about two hours drive from Houston, San Antonio, and Corpus Christi. While visiting, be sure to stop off at Fossati's Delicatessen, the oldest Deli in the state of Texas and is sitl family owned after 125 years.
Waterloo
Waterloo is a little unincorporated area North East of Austin in Williamson County. To get there take Highway 79 East out of Round Rock, and just after Taylor turn North on 619. When you reach the "S" turn in the road, don't blink, because you're there. Waterloo was the original name for the city of Austin.
Yorktown
Founded by Captain John York and Charles Eckhardt in 1835, Yorktown is a little town North West of Victoria, in DeWitt County. Yorktown's notable son is Harlon Block, who is pictured as the soldier on the far right of the famous photograph, Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima.
