FINAL DAY IN BEAKO







Esther and I started the day by taking a tour of the Armstrong Browning Library where it's all about the poets Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Robert Browning. There were a whole bunch of stained glass windows that included some of the poetry and one special room just for relaxing or if there was some sort of function. Along one wall was the famous poem, "How Do I Love Thee" written by Elizabeth.

Mammoths in Waco! We checked out this place called the Beako Mammoth Site where real mammoths were dug up. Isn't that cool?

Time for lunch. We went to a Mexican restaurant called Ninfa's just across the way from the Hilton Hotel, where we were staying. I'm not sure what we ordered. I have to learn Spanish because it looks like there were three quails on my plate.

Our final stop was to the Dr. Pepper Museum where we were able to create our own soft drink. We combined cherry syrup, lime syrup and lemon syrup...mostly cherry...and called it a Tropical Chicken. Own tour guide thought it tasted great!

Tomorrow we will be going to McAllen...or as we renamed it, "McClucken".
