Dallas

Now in Dallas for a couple of days and nights. After leaving Mesa Verde National Park, we headed from Colorado to New Mexico and had lunch at Albuquerque. Then we travelled along the famous Route 66 to Tucumcari where we spent the night. Tucumcari appears to be little more than a giant pit stop for trucks and RVs!

The next day we drove more along Route 66 into Texas and Amarillo, and then headed South to Dallas. They say when in Rome, do as the Romans do, so when in Dallas we went to a Kid Rock concert of course!

The concert was at the Gexa Energy Pavilion, and it was a great location for it. Much nicer to be sprawled out on the lawn, than cramped into a seat. Also much more social, as could mix with others there.

The warm up act.

This was just behind us.The viewing platform doesn’t just rotate around, but also goes ups and down. So you board it at the bottom, and it rotates up.

For those who can’t see all the words, they say “Fuck Y’All, I’m From Texas”.  Very apt. Texans love, well being Texans.

Getting ready for the main act.

And Kid Rock in action.

Was a great concert, and tickets very reasonably priced. Definitely a highlight to go to a rock concert in Texas. Based on my limited experience I’d say there was even more cannabis being smoked at this concert, than at NZ ones!

Also enjoyed how they got around the law saying you can only buy two drinks at a time. Even seen almost one litre cans of Budweiser? They were nice!
