Day 18: Pecos - Coleman - Dallas

The highlight of our trip today from Pecos to Dallas was our stop in Coleman Texas. Its a small town about 100 miles south west of Dallas and it was exactly as I had imagined a small Texas town would be, one street, all the men wearing stetsons and Colman Bluecats (The high school football team) flags all around town.



We were also given the airport courtesy car which was about 40 years old and 50 feet long but I think I still look pretty darn cool.


Unfortunately Coleman isn't known for its wide selection of restaurants so we had to settle for a DIY lunch in the plane.


We made up for it though that evening in Dallas with two huge steaks so no fear of losing the extra winter pounds we've put on over here!

    Hi Daire and Sharon, ye are fairly getting around. Nice car Daire ! Its a pity you couldn't bring it home mam will be stuck for a car when you come back and she would look so well driving it around Athlone !!!!! No news here we have Jack (Gavins nephew) here with us since Thursday night (his nanna died so we are looking after him). He is going this morning. Grace came over yesterday to play, I spent an hour and a half listening to the two of them telling tales on one another. Up bright and early with both Michael and Jack this morning. Safe flying Niamh
