So a rather early morning and watched part of the Abu Dhabi F1 Stock car race, it seemed like, and it was jolly exiting but in the end we had to leave but at least I new which channel it would on later as a repeat.
We left Dodge and headed mostly South and went through miles of farming and cattle raising areas, again their were many animals in stockade's so we presume they were being sent off somewhere soon.
We started seeing lots of loose white stuff everywhere which initially we thought it was rubbish blowing of trucks or something but it turned out to be the cotton being grown for miles. We did not know that they grow cotton in Texas but you always learn something.
We looked for somewhere to stop for lunch but the rest stops were pretty horrible and it would not be comfortable to stop and so we pulled in to a small town and found a supermarket and parked in their car park and ate lunch in the car.There is a lot of poverty in the Southern Kansas states and also in Northern Texas areas with countless people living in RV's and trailer parks often surrounded by discarded vehicles and rubbish. Its such a shame when you think how much money this country used to have and now wasted on pointless wars. It was easy driving and we arrived at our Hotel around pm and by the time we had settled in and discovered that the rerun of the F1 GP was being shown at 4.30 pm, that was it and so now we could watch it from start to finish, minus the bits they cut out and also the bits we missed because of the adverts every ten minutes. On the previous evening we flicked through the 60 odd channels to see what was showing and at least 45 of them were showing adverts and more b adverts. How the American can stand this I don't know.
Following the race we headed of to Alberstons for some food and purchased some chicken and microwavable potatoes and veggies. I asked the till lady whwre the nearest Liquor Stores was and she said down the road on the left and its called United something.So we followed here instructions and eventually found what we though was the correct place only to discover it was another grocery store but when asking again about purchasing wine was told that the state of Texas does not allow the sale of Liquor on a Sunday. At least the Brits have on over them there and also you can wine etc in any supermarket or corner store.
The food was excellent and we started planning tomorrow and what we would see and do.
