Day 39 : Where the west begins...


Sam showed us around the Texas Christian University campus where he is studying / teaching American history (including the impressive new American Football stadium of course!). In the afternoon he gave us a tour of downtown Fort Worth (notable sights were the water gardens, used in the film Logan's Run, and the Worth hotel, where JFK gave his last public address). We passed through the historic stockyards to see the longhorns and watch the cowboys drive them down the road. It's still uncomfortably hot.

This evening we're catching the greyhound to Flagstaff via Amarillo.

Animal count : lots of Texas longhorn cows!
