    HOUSTON TO FORT WORTH

    2025年6月12日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

    4hr drive from Houston to Fort Worth. Had rain and fog, which made driving stressful as it was hard to see cars, road markings, and signs. It's quite overwhelming!!! But we made it to Fort Worth with no incidents. Met up with Greg and Angela and had a lovely tea at the stock yard hotel then went to the cowtown colosseum
    to watch Bull Riding.    もっと詳しく

    FORT WORTH TEXAS TO HOT SPRINGS ARKANSAS

    2025年6月15日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

    A big traveling day today, 511km and about 5.30 hrs driving. We crossed from Texas into Arkansas. We stopped off in a little town called Hope and had a tour through President Bill Clinton's Birthplace home.
    Bill Clinton, born William Jefferson Blythe III, spent his early childhood in Hope, Arkansas. He was born on August 19, 1946, at Julia Chester Hospital, just three months after his father's death. His mother, Virginia, later married Roger Clinton, and the family eventually moved to Hot Springs, Arkansas. In Hope, Clinton lived with his mother and grandparents, who played a significant role in his upbringing.
    His grandparents owned a grocery store and instilled in him the values of equality and treating everyone with respect, regardless of race. His grandmother also taught him to read at a young age.    もっと詳しく

    MEMPHIS PRO SHOP PYRAMID

    2025年6月17日, アメリカ ⋅ 🌙 27 °C

    The Memphis Pyramid, formerly known as the Great American Pyramid and the Pyramid Arena, and colloquially known as the Bass Pro Shops Pyramid,
    is a pyramid-shaped building located in downtown Memphis, Tennessee, United States, at the bank of the Mississippi River. Built in 1991 as a 20,142-seat arena, the facility was owned and operated jointly by the city of Memphis and Shelby County until Shelby County sold its share to Memphis in April 2009. Its structure plays on the city's namesake in Egypt, which is known for its ancient pyramids. It is 321 feet (98 m) (about 32 stories) tall and has base sides of 591 feet (180 m); it is by some measures the tenth-tallest pyramid in the world.
    The Memphis Pyramid has not been regularly used as a sports or entertainment venue since 2007. In 2015, the Pyramid re-opened as a Bass Pro Shops megastore, which included shopping, a hotel, restaurants, a bowling alley, and an archery range, with an outdoor observation deck adjacent to its apex.    もっと詳しく

    JACK DANIEL WHISKEY DISTILLERY

    2025年6月20日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    Jack Daniel's early years were marked by a challenging childhood and a strong entrepreneurial spirit. Born around 1846 in Lynchburg, Tennessee, he was the youngest of ten children. After his mother's death and a difficult home life following his father's remarriage, he left home at a young age of 6yrs old. He found refuge with Reverend Dan Call, a local preacher and distiller, who taught him the basics of whiskey making. Jack Daniel eventually bought the distillery from Call and established his own distillery in 1866, officially registering it as "Jack Daniel Distillery".

    Lynchburg, Tennessee, is located in a dry county (Moore County). This means that the sale of alcoholic beverages, including beer, wine, and liquor, is generally prohibited within the county's boundaries. However, there is an exception for alcohol produced on-site at the Jack Daniel Distillery, where visitors can sample and purchase their whiskey.    もっと詳しく

    The day started with a horse ride at Dillard Stables at 9.30am this morning. We were very lucky and had the guide to ourselves on the ride. After the ride, we headed up to Black Rock Mountain to tramp a 6.5km round trip to a waterfall and swimming hole . Was planning on having a swim, but it was too chilly for me, and there were too many Rock in the water to clamber over.
    Black Rock Mountain is the highest mountain in Georgia.
    It's also Black Bear country, but we were told not to be too concerned with them.
    Allan did take his walking pole as some kind of protection. Lol    もっと詳しく
