Texas: Part 2, Dallas, took us for a ride!


We headed into Dallas on Friday 6/5 and met Brittany at her apartment. Her apartment was really nice and right in the middle of downtown Dallas. We decided to walk downtown and pick up a trolley to go to the restaurant that Britt worked at. It was really hot that day and not just normal hot, no they have this thing called humidity, which makes it like 10 times hotter than it "really" is. So as we were looking for the trolley (Britt was not totally sure where to get on the trolley)so we decided to stop in a pub (you know because it was sooo hot outside). I believe it was called Ye Old Alley Pub, and it was awesome because after we bought a round, the bartender bought us a round! (let me tell you this is not the first or last nice person we met while in Texas!) The girls chatted and caught up, while the boys played an old bar billiard game. Someone else that worked at the pub was nice enough to not only tell us where the trolley picked you up but when it would pick you up. We finished our drinks and caught the trolley to Primo's, another TEX MEX restaurant, this is where Brittany had been working for the last couple years.
Once again we ate delicious food and had a wonderful time with friends and food! Brittany then took us around town to different bars and pubs. We had an awesome time checking out the local scene in Dallas, a little too much fun! Oh I forgot to mention that Britt's dad owns Primo's and was so awesome and bought us all dinner (it was cool because he was there and we got to see him and say hello)! I forgot to mention the freaking taxi's in Dallas... they were ridiculous... Britt had mentioned she hated them but we needed to take one because the bar we were going to was too far into downtown to walk form where we were. So check this out, first the taxi driver did not know where the place was that we wanted to go, he had a GPS! and still didn't know, so I had to take the GPS and find the place! He still charged us (a ridiculous amount too!) I thought taxis in SLO were bad, not compared to Dallas!
The next morning (some of us hurting more than others... me) Britt took us to a local diner to have some hearty breakfast, funny thing we ran into Britt's dad again! Awesome! We took it easy the rest of the day, the boys BBQ'd some steaks and we watched another Laker game. We had made plans to go to a Texas Ranger's baseball game on Monday, can you believe Joe has never been to a pro baseball game, ever?!?
