“Just beyong the highway, there’s an open plain And it keeps me going through the wind and rain…”
I was so excited! We were finally on our way to Amarillo. For some reason I had high expectations for night life in this town, and I couldn’t wait to put my high heels on, and have a good time!
It all started fine. We found a cool place where to eat; the Big Texan Stake Ranch is A MUST for all 66’rs! However, we did not try restaurant’s famous 72-oz. stake challenge (get a free 72-oz stake, if eaten in 1 hour), as our aim really was to hit the dance floor later…
Restaurant was nice, stayed a bit longer for shooting games and to enjoy the performing trubadur. Still on our way out, we visited a nice souvenir shop, and chatted with some friendly Texans – who convinced us that it simply just coudn’t get any more Texan than this! 😄
Evening probably should have ended at the Stake Ranch, as after that it all went bad: Couldn’t find any nice bars (even had tried to google before…), got pissed off for my travel buddy getting grumpy for us not finding party places… and finally navigator (or better: us, users ;-)) had lost the address of our hotel, and as we could not remember what it was called… Well, let me just say that this was one of those nights that did not really turn out as planned.
My high heels did not get all worn out that night… But I felt my relationship did.
