Fort Worth
Varada
"It was a chilly morning today in Dallas. After being introduced to our chaperones, we all got on the bus to go to Fort Worth. (Fort Worth was founded in 1849 as a military outpost. approx. 51kms from Dallas). On the one hour drive to Fort Worth the bus was alive with the sound of the girls singing in rehearsal for the presentation to UA on Friday. When we got to Fort Worth we were given a tour by Barron Pressley (Fort Worth Visitor Centre) around the stockyards. We saw horses and a Mule (half horse, half donkey).
We went to a local Texas BBQ restaurant called Riskys for lunch where the burgers were amazing! After lunch we had some spare time and we all went and explored the local shops in the area.
Then our last stop was at the Cowgirl Museum. We were delighted to learn the fascinating history about cowgirls.
Later in the afternoon my host sister Laura and I went horse back riding and although I was terrified and a drama queen, it was one of the best experiences of my life."
