Fortunately leaving Horlando so early, meant we arrived in cowboy town in the mid afternoon. We caught a shuttle to our hotel, checked in, dumped our bags, removed our dirty washing, then hit the quiet streets of Fort Worth toward the laundry. Casey and I were both confused at the lack of cars on the road, despite the looming peak hour o'clock. The city was under going some heavy road works, but the not-so attractive barriers were masked with peculiar comics involving a man from the past in modern day Fort Worth... Or so our speculation lead us to believe!
We also wandered past this old character...
...And would later go into Dallas to learn more about him. Which was lucky because the plaques around the statue said literally nothing about his death, other than the date it occured!! Which was irritating but after the brilliant signage at Disneys Animal Kingdom we weren't too suprised.
Cramming a machine full, we wandered into the closest bar, which was serving schooner sized beers! We ordered a couple of local brews and discovered that their schooners are very different to ours! For example, Australians aren't trusted to consume alcohol from anything other than plastic... This ridiculous looking-stemmed goblet was made entirely of solid glass!! With my heavily weakened biceps, it was a double-fister for sure!
We relocated our moist clothes into the dryer and had a look around at some touristy shops and booked tickets to the following nights Rodeo, which was one of the reasons we had gone to Fort Worth in the first place!
We had an early night on account of almost no sleep the night before and big promises of the Rodeo the next day!!
