Day 8 – Everything’s hotter in Texas

While we explored downtown Fort Worth this afternoon there were record breaking temperatures for May at 99 degrees. At least there is less humidity in Texas. All three of us agree that we do not ever want to live in Texas but it was fun to visit these past few days. After sleeping in we went to every single Cowboy store in downtown and then headed to the Stockyards. We saw a real live cattle drive down main street. After freaking out that they might come chase us on the side of the road they marched down the street at a 1 mile an hour pace and didn’t look too enthused about the whole thing. We enjoyed a mid-afternoon beverage in a cute little saloon and then headed to Billy Bob’s Texas, the biggest honky tonk in the nation. We busted a few dance moves below their sparkly saddle/disco ball remake. Josiah’s friends, who have been amazing and also gave us each our own room, took us out for some great TexMex food. Being in the heat all day has made us extra tired so we are headed to bed a little earlier than normal. Tomorrow we start the journey North.

From under the Texan full moon, Goodnight,
