Well, the other day we were walking about the "nothingness" around our hotel and we bumped into Gerry and Gail (or it could be Jerry and Gayle) a couple who were also stranded at the airport, but had there car with them ( a very nice Hummer). Anyway, they were filling up there car at the petrol station (or should that be gas station, since we are in the states), and asked if we wanted a lift to the Dallas Cowboys Stadium, since they were going for a look around. We jumped at the chance and said "Yes". Unfortunately it was closed, for tours, since there was a motocross event going on, so they asked if we wanted to go to Fort Worth instead. Forth Worth has a history and had one of the largest stockyards (if not the largest) in Texas, where thousands of cattle (or steers) were traded. There was plenty to see and gave a flavour of the "real" Texas. We are very glad we went.
Today our nice new friends, took us to a HUGE flea market. We wandered around for an hour or so and had to buy hats, since the weather is scorching at the moment (well it is for us Scots, apparently this is nothing).
It is great to see a little bit of what Texas has to offer and thanks again to Gerry and Gail.
