When we woke in Dubois it was snowing again although it didn't last and the sun soon came out as we had a quick look around the small cowboy town. The most interesting thing to see was the Jackalope exhibit in the nearby gas station. The Jacka http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Texas/Dallas/blog-295811.html Here's the announcement that Chad Sarah and Big T are heading across the pond together.

Onaxthiel was glad to be away from cats though as it turned out that relief would be shortlived. We drove south with Dallas as our intended destination for the day. Along the way we started getting distracted by roadside billboards that kept advertising interesting sounding things.In the town http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Texas/Dallas/blog-259818.html Post Secondary Agriculture Student Organization Competition Now you know why it is called PASThis last week I was able to attend PAS in Dallas Texas.

Not much to report from the land of cowboys and armadillos since this isn't my usual type of entry from some interesting place somewhere in the world.

On my way here I luckly escaped http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Texas/Dallas/blog-256504.html I really tried to get up for breakfast really I did. But I turned off my alarm and went to sleep. Then the housekeeping lady knocked just shortly after 9 A.M. Yuck. As she started asking what we needed and whether or not we needed housekeeping.

The first time I've ever bought the wrong ticket was for this flight.

With the recent troubles at TXDot a major source of funding to the CRM firm where I am currently employed many projects were either put on hold or scrapped altogether. Winter is typically slow for CRM firms anyway. This period of inactivity has also coincided with http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Texas/Dallas/blog-252373.html At the suggestion of a friend who compiled an excellent travel blog over the course of a few months I'm going to document my exploits until I return home to Argentina. http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Texas/Dallas/blog-248675.html From Memphis I travelled to Dallas where I spent my first sober New Year's Eve since I was about 12. Having been up since 5am and not wanting to venture out of my hotel I took phone calls from people back home who again were far too drunk for me to have a proper conversation with before heading to bed at around 10.30.Dallas seemed to be a bit of a ghost town the following day but then it was http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Texas/Dallas/blog-234202.html I'm leaving in 12 hours And I must say that this is a damn good way to start off the new year.

I'm gonna make some nachos.My next post will be from Malaga Spain I can't wait to tell you all about it http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Texas/Dallas/blog-231665.html So I think this will probably be my last entry unless I randomly decide to update again after my brother and I go on our annual skiing trip to Squaw Valley California. It's been really fun updating this blog from home too since I've gotten into so much of a pattern of doing it over the past few months. Each one of my visits to friends has been unique and Dallas was no exception. I admit tha http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Texas/Dallas/blog-227925.html
