After one party after another for the wedding we have left our new Texan family to go and do some L-S family things before the long journey home. First we went tubing down the Guadeloupe River which is as fun as it sounds - 2 1\2 hours of drifting down a mostly gentle river with the frequent friends of turtles, birds and snakes!
A must see in this part of the world is the Rodeo, so off we went to the Fort Worth Stockyard. More cowboys, long horns and amazing horsemanship.
I think the pro-bull riders are mad. Totally mad. The top riders earn good money ($250k per national championship) but it really is high risk stuff. I was open-mouthed. Amazingly, no-one was seriously injured, although one rider was slammed by a bull. Ouch.
Great, special family memories.
