What to see when visiting Fort Worth in Texas

En Forth Worth We visited a typical town Far West, which turned out to be a tourist place, full of saloons, cattle and livestock, tourist attractions, etc… but nice and cozy.

After taking a general look, we decided to enter a type restaurant saloon from West where you eat really well.

Before we had been in another bar/saloon of this guy having a few beers, where its walls and ceilings were decorated with a large number of Texas hats and other motifs from the American West.

There was also a small musical ensemble rehearsing for their evening performance.

With a full stomach and well drunk, we walked through this town that keeps the essence of the Far West, and where we stayed in total for about six hours.

Typical Western rodeo in Fort Worth

We also bought some tickets to see a “typical” western show.

The idea was attend a rodeo as God commands; We tried to locate it on the Internet but, unfortunately, it was not that easy.

The rodeo days of a very important championship were held in other months.

Likewise in other towns further south of Texas There was something similar to a detour, but it was far from us.

In other words, our joy in a well. and we had to settle for a show, I would say poor, where some riders, dressed as we all expected, did their juggling on horses on a sand-covered track.

El western show in fort worth It began with the interpretation of the American anthem, which was sung live with the entire audience standing, and the country's nationals with their right hand on their hearts.

We stood up, respectfully. All with many starry American flags.

When it was already dark, and after see cattle transported by cowboys Crossing the streets of the city, we returned to our hotel after stopping at a shopping center near the motel to buy dinner.

The day, once again, had been very sunny and hot.
