Our Sunday began with quick daylight tour of Natchez at 8am before starting the drive to Dallas, Texas. On the way we stopped at a Texas SmokeHouse for lunch. Oh my god. Meat, meat and a bit more meat. All smoked and with bbq sauce. With fried bread.
We arrived in Fort Worth late in the afternoon and decided to drive straight to the historic stockyard district to check it out before finding a cheap motel on the outskirts of town. We wandered around it the lovely temperatures –ABOVE FREEZING for the first time in our trip! Found some vintage cowboy boots that were perfect and cheap! Bought them straight away and also got a recommendation from the shop owner to check out a B&B next door.
Wow, wow, wow. Each room in the B&B was decorated in a different theme – ranch, train, cow and a more expensive, bordello room complete with roll-top bath in room. It was only $100 for the night for the most luxuriously decorated bordello room on the main street of Fort Worth’s historic area – so we jumped at it!
Went out to find a juicy steak for dinner only to find that Texans must really like to eat early, because every restaurant bar one closed at 9pm. It was 8.l0pm. So we went into the only open one and it was fantastic! Guacamole for starter - which the waiter makes at the table, then steaks for main, accompanied by local beer. It was one of the best meals of the trip.
