One of my friends is leaving Houston for good this week and so we had a Dutch girls day out on Saturday to give her a good Texan send off.
After Lunch & Coffee we headed out to Brazos 'Alligator' Park. The drought was very very visible and the lake could barely be called a lake anymore.
The guest of honor herself, Nicole, also made some good artistic - old western type shots of us (&me)
Do I look like a native Texan Mom yet?
The crocodiles reminded me of the North Sea Seals as they were all sunbathing on separate mud banks.
In the nature centre for about 3 seconds touched the Tarantula and then decided we had done enough nature for a day.
On to some proper Cupcakes for the sugar rush after the adrenaline -:)
And then on we went to the very Texan Armadillo for venison chili, burgers and chicken covered in at least 3 different layers of something tasty & greasy.
The next program item was the Bull at the Honky Tonk. Fortunately there were not that many people at the bar yet so some of us dared to have a go. Cramp in your thighs within 2 seconds and a bruised ego are more or less guaranteed but at least we can scratch something else of our bucket lists now.
Not to long after we were shown hot it really is done...
Other then the bull we were either too tired, to old, too sober or too un-hip for the Honky Tonk and left for a nearby wine bar were we could at least hear each other. We all realized we were definitely not getting enough practice at this kind of life anymore - and I certainly struggled the last hour to keep my eyes open
A great day though with some new inspiration for visitors.
