On the way we stopped in Abilene and like Lubbock they are just boring towns so we didn't hang around long.
Then we hit Fort worth which was great as they had incredible water parks, fab shops and awesome architecture. It was an amazingly hot day with really high humidity so we decided the only way to battle that was to go to the local pub and cool off with a beer. We tried a Texas tasting plate of 5 beers but didn't like any so I ordered my new favourite Sierra Nevada Kellerweis mmmmm. From our rooftop table we were also able to watch a house for habitat being built in the square below.
Then we went to cowboy land at the Stockyards and had dinner at the famous Joe T Garcia's Mexican Restaurant where it is so popular they had to keep expanding and it now seats 1800 people. I can also happily say after tasting CalMex, New Mexico Mex and TexMex that the Texas one wins hand down.
Observations:
• Dallas has around 3,000 churches so averages 1 church per 3-400 people
• I have tried fried okra and am not a fan
• Have seen cottonfields for the first time and they are really pretty
• Oil drills are everywhere
• Cowboy boots are awesome but expensive
• Texans don't mind wearing/displaying their flags, state shape and symbols all the time
• I have finally gotten sick - inevitable with midnight beds, 7am wake ups and full on days
• Hit the bible belt and there are alot of messages around some witty some bad
• Texans are the nicest people I have met so far, and love telling you all the special things about their state
• They love their guns and Knives here
