Texans do love their cows. The Ft. Worth Stockyards is a beautifully restored historic area with great restaurants, shops full of cowboy stuff, and museums.

I had no sooner parked the car when a cowboy came riding down the main street on a giant long horn cow with a saddle. He stopped and allowed the tourist to climb aboard for photos. A few minutes later they ran a cattle drive of long horn cows down main street. When that was over they had a typical old west gun fight where just about everyone gets shot.

To our disappointment the train was down for maintenance. However visiting the Cowboy Hall of Fame and having lunch in the historic old hotel made the visit worth while.

If you are ever in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, I give the Stockyards a "Thumbs Up" for a tourist attraction.
