Not the hangover I thought it would be but regardless I woke up a bit wobbly and decided to stay in bed until 10 am . Everyone else was either going home or heading to Houston . Only Bert and myself stayed the extra day and I kinda wish we left .... Why ? Because Frisco is a shit hole and there is nothing to do at hotel or anywhere in walking distance !
We decided to go into Dallas and we used our Uber App to get us there . Great service you should all try !!! If you sign up use promo code adrianm93 and you will get $20 off your first ride ;) you won't be disappointed ... Trust me . It's been a trip where driving around in a cab is the main transportation as Frisco has no transit and regardless there is nothing to do now so we took our Uber ride to Dallas . First stop was Sonny Brian's Smokehouse ... YUM !!!
We were right beside the JFK memorial so we walked over in the sweltering heat ... Yeah it's hot as piss here . After checking out the memorial we went over to where JFK was shot :( it was kinda eery being there knowing this unfortunate historic moment occurred there . Picture above is the grassy knoll . The pic earlier is the book depository where it is claimed that JFK was shot from the 6th floor ... The window is the one on the far right of building and the building is a museum now ... We didn't go in as Bert has been there before and said it's not exactly worth it ... So we decided to go to the aquarium ;)
I love aquariums ! You get to see cool animals you never get to see ;) above is a sloth which we got right up beside . It looked like a nappy rug hanging from a tree LOL. ! That was the highlight for me ... We wandered around there for a couple hours but time seemed to slow down once we left .
Dallas is a city of 1.2 million and you would expect to see a lot of people walking around right ? Nope ! After we left aquarium we walked to the American Airlines Arena and it was a friggin ghost town !!!! It was the most unbelievable thing I still can't believe we walked about 15 minutes and did not pass a single human .... We were joking that this is the perfect city to film a post apocalyptic movie because you don't have to block streets off or anything ! Now you gotta understand it's hot out so apparently people don't leave their houses or work places and everyone drives but really it still shouldn't be this dead ???
When we got to the arena we tried getting in but the place was locked up so we walked around looking for an open entrance to no avail :( there was a gift shop open so we went in for some a/c and stood there for a bit talking to the lady in the shop , apparently we were only people to visit the store and this was around 2 in afternoon . We left and ended up in a pizzeria to have drinks as we were getting dehydrated fast . Wish I knew name as the place was great .
We had to decide ... Do we hang around Dallas and wait to have dinner or do we go back to the shit hole called Frisco . We really didn't want to go to Frisco but Dallas has nothing more to offer either and is probably the lamest "major" city I have ever been to !!!!! So we used our Uber App got a driver and headed to the gas station to get beer ... Yeah the gas station across road from hotel . Around. 7 or 8 pm we were hungry and decided to order food .... Well , the first place we called doesn't deliver after 6 pm ?!?!? Really ? Wtf ! Next place we chose closes soon so they won't deliver . Then we considered taking Uber to go eat but spending extra $80 to go eat was out of the question ... Actually spending anything on a taxi to go anywhere was out of question . Finally we ordered Chinese food and watched Karate Kid LOL.... Not exactly ideal but we made the most of it . It was nice catching up with Bert and we were both a bit bitchy but what can you do ! Well I guess call it a night and wait until Houston ;)
Let's just say Dallas gets 2 thumbs down ! It's boring and hot with an apocalyptic downtown it's possibly the lamest city I have ever been to . Don't bother coming here trust me . Frisco is even worse and I am counting the minutes until I leave here . It's apparently the fastest growing city in America but I honestly don't know where this growth is ???? Still wondering whose idea it was to stay here LOL . Anyways I should pack and finish my leftover Chinese food .... Heading to Houston in 4 hours .
