The third day of my stay in Texas, we made

a trip to Fort-Worth.

I had no idea, what was on there.

Nearby Fort-Worth we stopped, becouse

someone would buy something in a shop.

And then I saw my first cowboys...., life !!

Very strange to see with the high buildings

in the background. Old and new together.

We parked the cars in the touristic area of the town, on the ground of the very big

horse stables, where in the first World-

war the horses were breeded for the over

sea battlefields, to be slaughtered in

great honour. They were not asked

for there permission.

But indeed, later the horses received a

bronze plaquette, placed in Washington!!

After paying a visit to the stables, we

walked along the street and saw how the

cowboys usually played in their spare

time with whip and lasso.

It was a funny thought to see, how they

were playing like little boys.

We got hungry and found a Mexican

restaurant. We got a nice place at

the varanda and had a wonderful

view of the street, while having

dinner.

The food was

delicious.

Look at

this face.

After dinner we had time to watch

the cowboys and to take pictures of them.

They were sitting on real horses and wore

real big hats on their heads.

In the afternoon they drove the bulls with

the long horns from the corrals to the

arena.

There it was possible to join in the game

“Bull-riding “

How

sweet

it is.

Then the cowboys on the steel horses.

They didn’t wear big hats not even a

helmet.

Maybe they hadn’t the need to protect

their heads and brains.

Big arms

with

tattoo,

and a girl.

Inside the restaurant was a corner

with Mexican clothes.

You could put them on for making

fun pictures.

And so we did.

Not a sharp

picture ,

I know.

That was impossible

with so many

roundings.

After it had darkened, we were still

wandering through the Stockyards

and wondering about what was going on.

It looked to be an old Western city.

But instead of fastened horses, we only saw

big motor cycles in front of the saloons.

Before we went home, my son

offered us a dinner in a chinese

restaurant.

After all, it was his birthday.

We excepted with great pleasure.
