We had the usual free breakfast at the Hotel, including a selection of three cereals, tea and coffee and a choice of juices. There is also a plastic omelette containing something which looks like tomato but may not be and something they say is sausage but looks suspiciously like a strange hamburger. Anyway we left there around 10 am and headed towards the Interstate 10 but first to the petrol station for a top up. I had hoped that putting in 00000 would enable my Amex card to work but unfortunately it does not and so back to leaving the card with the checker and paying after you have filled up. Only $17.00 this time for just over half a tank full of fuel.

We had decided to go for a bigger lunch today and to avoid a heavy evening meal and out destination was a restaurant just of the I-10 called Rudy's Texas BBQ, see link http://www.rudysbbq.com/page/home where we arrived at about 1245.
So we enjoyed a lunch of pork loin and turkey with coleslaw and corn on the cob and washed down with warm iced tea, if that makes sense. This went down very well and there is even some left over for a sandwich tonight should we need it.
Old Building mostly empty |
So tonight we are going to the cinema about 15 minutes by car to see the film called 'The Imitation Game' we have seen it once in the UK but were impressed and as we did not fancy anything else this will be out entertainment for tonight before we leave on our journey East with the next stop being Fort Stockton, Texas which should take us about 4 hours or so.
BUT CLOSED |
Let's hope we can find the cinema tonight, we should do as it's next door to a massive Walmart. Perhaps the old town has moved to alongside the I-10 near to Walmart?
