When you think of Dallas, you think of oil, when you think of Forth Worth, it's cattle. Sharon and Gary took us to the Stockyards, the historical part of Forth Worth. They picked us up, so we didn't have to tackle the traffic again. Denny was VERY happy about that.
They still have the streets of brick
For the tourists: cattle drive thru the streets everyday
Christmas decorations, Texas style
Had to get on. When I first saw this cow, I thought it was fake. NO, it was very real and MOVING. Couldn't get Denny to get on
Stockyard museum. Closest I could Denny to a saddle
1800's stove.
1924 stove. can't imagine using either one. Glad times have changed
1st cousin, Sharon and her husband Gary. Great tour guides
Went to a Barbecue restaurant. Never have seen a roll of paper towels for napkins and large jar of jalapeno peppers on table. Pretty typical in Texas. You order the meat by the pound. You just get a slab of beef or pork on your plate. It comes with pinto beans, but all other sides are separate. Very different experience.
After the stockyards, they drove around to show us the area. Back to Arlington to see the stadiums. Arlington is between Dallas and Forth Worth.
Dallas Cowboy stadium, nickname: Jimmy's world. It is huge. It costs $75 to park there for a game. Tickets average $350.
Close up of workers on roof. I don't think I would get up there.
Workers from a distance. They look like ants
Texas Rangers stadium. Built to look old. I like that better
