Day 9 – Reunion Tower and the Texas Grill

We wake up in our own time without anyone else to wake us which was fantastic!! Once we are ready we head for the bus stop to go to Dallas city centre. One the trip I overhear a guy that is heading to San Antonio in Texas to follow the hurricane that was expected to hit Texas. I decided that 1 day I want to do that - maybe next year!!

When we get off the bus we expect to see lots of people since it is a city centre and all, but in actual fact, there was not 1 single person anywhere!!

We headed towards the reunion tower and headed to the top floor which was the spinning restaurant -Antares! Since we couldn't afford to buy food, we got another smoothie - chocolate and caramel - and I can safely say it is the single best thing that I had tasted the whole time I was in the USA.

The view from Antares was fantastic and just as you would imagine a Texas scene to be - minus the cowboys!

Since we were starving and nowhere was open we went to the only place that was open - which was the Texas Grill. It was a typical Texan restaurant - and they loved us!! Of course we ordered a sloppy joe - typical Texas meal. The staff were so cool there and we got soo much free food!! At least someone in the world likes us Brits!!

We headed back to the hostel after this, but since we missed our stop - meant this took 2 hours longer than it should of and we had to do the whole route again!

Marta was arriving that evening at 12pm so we chilled out. At around 8pm we decided to order a pizza. Well, 1 thing Texans aren't is English speaking. 30 minutes and £20 later we finally decided to pass on the pizza. They purely couldn’t understand 1 single word that we said. We headed down to the gorgeous lake alongside our hostel to watch the sunset. A pretty amazing view!!

I couldn't wait for Marta to arrive since me and Meghan were verging on killing each other!! When she finally arrived at around 1am we headed straight to bed!!
