for July 29th Monday


A busy day in Fort Worth. Emma and us saw two very fine art museums.


Emma rode the bucking bronco. On our last visit  to Fort Worth, Amber got tossed off a few times.


A labyrinth. Mike and Hedge (hard to see) coming down the stairs 
after getting their tickets stamped  at one of the stops.
I didn't realize it, but this is the way the cattle were moved thru the pens at the stock yards.


The old stockyards are a tourist attraction. The local cowboys run a small
 herd of cattle down the main street.
*****
Fort Worth is an old cattle city. I looked on an old map and Fort Worth was there in big letters, but no Dallas at all on the map.
