WACO, TEXAS, HERE WE COME!













Eunice and I went to Texas, which, of course we renamed "Chixas" as we rediscovered that state. We went to two cities with the first being Waco...or as we are now calling it...Beako. It was quite a long plane ride that started with going from New York to Dallas and then to Beako. This time it was American Airlines. We made sure to buckle our seat belts.

That evening we had dinner at a place called Diamond Back's. Not much for steak this night so we ordered a sushi appetizer. It was a tower of tuna with rice and other goodies. When it came to the table I first checked it out to make sure that it was fish.

We slept well and the next morning was off to a cooking lesson at Uncle Dan's BBQ where we learned how their White Potato Salad was made. Rather than having sliced potatoes in the salad, a machine chops it up into small chunks after the potatoes are cooked. Eunice and I met Dan.

Our next stop was to the Chixas Ranger Hall of Fame & Museum where we saw a photo of a female chixas ranger and happened to spot Merle. There was a lot to see.

Afterward Eunice and I made our way to the Cameron Park Zoo. Eunice wanted to have a photo of her with a giraffe...ha ha and later had a closeup of some sort of catlike animal.

Last part of the day was at a place called Homestead Heritage. It's like one of those living history museums but in the present.
