Here is a nice Texas sunrise--this was as we were driving from Albuquerque yesterday. There was a slight delay in posting due to the extensive journey, as well as the frustration of arriving in Dallas and being less than impressed by the hotel :) Our drive was actually very good, and we got into Dallas around 4PM yesterday. The hotel on the other hand, was pretty scary! Of course when you reserve online, sometimes it is hard to tell what a hotel is like. Specifically the neighborhood where it is located! We got off of the freeway and knew it was a bad sign when there was a "Gentlemen's club" across the street and a car without door locks parked next to us. :) The room was not that bad though, and it was a place to sleep so we decided to stick it out. I had read about a nice little neighborhood where we could get a bite to eat for dinner, so once again we hopped into the car and made our way to that area. Once we got there though, I realized it was not the kind of place we felt like exploring. On the road once again, we just happened to pick a street that I remembered reading about somehow. By this time, we were starving and tired! We parked and started walking around and I noticed a little Italian restaurant on one of the side streets. It ended up being like a small oasis within the huge city. We did not have reservations of course, but they were very gracious and took us anyway. We had the best food and service of the whole trip thus far! It was wonderful--which was a perfect ending to a very long and frustrating day.
