Yeehah from Texas! Checked out Fort Worth today and it was an unexpected, pleasant surprise! Proper cowboy town with saloons, rednecks, trucks and guns. (I didn't see any of the latter though). I succumbed to tourist temptation and got a cowboy hat! It wasn't easy finding one to fit my massive head - a bloke in one shop said he'd have to ship one in especially! Roll up, roll up for the enormous-head freak show! Found one eventually in a cheapo store - 20 dollars - bargain! It just about fits if I push it down but I feel like a tool wearing it. Still, novelty value and all that. We hit a Wild-West style bar, the White Elephant Saloon, which was happily full of genuine, booted up, gun toting, tobacco chewing, motorbike riding, God fearing Texans. It was all pretty hilarious and they bought us loads of drinks. They're very proud of their Texan hospitality and as long as you agree with them and don't slag off George Bush it's all fine. (I didn't Mum, don't panic) Had an awesome time there and it felt like proper Texas, unlike Dallas. Austin tomorrow for student-style drinking fun. Sweet! PS that half-naked picture of me with the hat on wasn't meant to look so gay! The original plan was to show how cramped my bed, but it came out like a Brokeback Mountain poster and before I realised how bad it looked it was on the internet! Doh! PPS Rob, I'm, sending the cowboy hat home so if it fits your even larger head you can have it! PPS Robin, are the new girls at the Leader fit? Transmission over.
