First Week in Dallas!!

Week 1: Dallas, Texas



So one week in I thought I’d make my first blog post. AND what a week!!!

I love this place, everyone seems to have such a great way of life, it all worked out great with my host Alyshia, I have been staying with her for this last week and it's just been a great base to get acquainted with the city.

So briefly here of some of the things i've done this week:

Volunteered at homeless food kitchen – Photos to follow

Exploring the city, having fun and looking into jobs






With more restaurants per-capita than New York City, Dallas is truly a food- lover's town, here is some of the amazing food I ate this week, with links to their websites where possible. 



       Grilled Pork Tacos at the Taco Diner (http://www.mcrowd.com/tacodiner.html)

Sushi at the blue fish (http://www.thebluefishsushi.com)

Bacon Avocado Burger at State & Allen Lounge (http://www.stateandallenlounge.com)

Pancakes at All Good Cafe (http://www.allgoodcafe.com)
As seen in the picture - Voted Best Texas Pancakes!





My Maple Syrpus drenches pancakes and Alyshias Breakfast Tacos.








Texas State Fair

Some of the food I ate:
Corn Dogs



Shiner Bock  Fried Beer (Not very nice, shown by Alyshias expression!!)









The weather every day has been around 85°F


The US Marines Drum & Bugle corps were great, the highlights included some fantastic Frank Sinatra renditions, including Thats life, and New York, New York. 
  Dodge Ram



Pig Racing - Now I really have seen everything (On a positive note our pig 'Jean Claude Van Ham' Won!!)

And for the serious stuff –I have a couple job interviews lined up for next week, found an ideal place to stay with a guy called Brix, i’m just finalising the details and I hope to buy a car by the end of the week – hopefully either a Ford Mustang, a Cadillac Deville or an ex Police Car!!
