Amarillo, TX (business trip)

First steps out of Amarillo airport and what do I see? Tumbleweeds. Fantastic.

 

The view from the 29th floor of the office tower.  You can see pretty much forever out here in the Texas panhandle. 

 

Had dinner at Hoffbrau Steakhouse next to my hotel. Family owned. The food and service were great. Turned out we had a team dinner here the next night so I know I picked right.

 

Found Route 66 Historic District and had dinner at Cowboy Gelato. Real good burger and the Cinnamon Mexican vanilla bean gelato was very tasty.

Texas blue bonnets (not bells)...again

Went back through last years blog entries and saw I had a Texas wild flowers entry already with pictures. That one was posted on April 15.

Guess what? It has been another year and the blue bells are blooming again.

Texas wild flowers

There are wonderful Texas Bluebonnets blooming along the highways and streets. They kind of look like hyacinths. They grow in large spreads.

I think the other flower in abundance is the Pink Evening Primrose.
