Today is the 236th Birthday of the United States Marine Corps, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
We decided to stay another day and go into Fort Worth to check it out. Twice a day, every day (except Christmas, New Years and Thanksgiving) the Fort Worth Herd is driven through part of town. They have about a dozen Texas Longhorns that they drive a distance of about 3 city blocks. Hey, we watched them herd the ducks in Memphis, we needed to watch the cows in Fort Worth.
It was a really nice day, a bit cool but the sun was shining. We walked the main streets of the Historic District and did a little window shopping. We walked over to Billy Bob's but it wasn't open. We decided to stop for lunch at a Mexican restaurant called Joe T Garcia's. The map we had made it look like it was just up the street but it turned out to be a bit further than that. So after a really long walk we finally got to the place. It covers an entire city block and can seat 1600 people! Wow!. We decided to have what they called the Family Meal. When we told the waiter we were going to split it he said it was for one person! We decided to go ahead and split it anyway. Here is what was included - 2 nachos (2 corn tortilla's that had melted cheese and salsa verde), 2 small tacos, 2 cheese enchiladas, rice, beans, guacamole, fresh tortillas and chips and salsa. Can you imagine one person eating all that? It turned out to be just right for us for lunch. When I went to pay they told us they don't accept credit cards so I had to dig out cash. Considering lunch cost us $10.01 for the two it wasn't bad. We had water to drink, I really needed that after the walk. Great bargain.
After lunch we headed back to the campground. I had put a roast in the crockpot before we left so dinner was done but we waited until much later in the evening to eat. We actually have a lot of leftovers since we weren't that hungry.
Tomorrow we move on across Texas. We have 3 more stops in the state before heading the rest of the way back to CA.
I also took pictures of the site at Cowtown RV. To get to the RV park you have to exit the freeway, make a U-turn under the freeway and head back east on the service road. Just as we were heading back would you believe a house pulled out on the service road and blocked the whole thing!?! They were able to detour cars through a parking lot but we wouldn't fit with our car attached. We had to pull over, unhook, enter a second parking lot and aim to get under a wire. It was a tight fit but we made it. Here is the park. It is really very nice and I would stay here again.
It has gotten quite cold tonight so we have the small heater running.
Here are all the pictures I took today.
