The month of July brought us a few visitors, which we loved. First, Mihir's Uncle Subodh and Aunt Asha, and cousins Aditi and Niyati came to visit mid-month. Aditi first made the trip to Dallas in 2006, and the three of us travelled to San Antonio. But this marked Subodh, Asha, and Niyati's first trip to the United States, and we were honored that they chose to spend a weekend here with us. Mihir and I were glad to take them on a tour of the Fort Worth Stockyards, the Fort Worth Zoo, The Sixth Floor Museum (the site of President Kennedy's assassination) and the Museum of Nature and Science. We tried to give them a true sampling of Texas culture. I'm pretty sure the Fort Worth Stockyards are something they won't see anywhere else, no matter how far and wide they travel.

Later, during the last weekend in July, my friend Beth came to visit from Michigan. Again, we followed a very Texan tourist agenda--the Stockyards, Sixth Floor Museum, and a visit to the Southfork Ranch in Plano--the mansion used for exterior shots in the famous long-running soap opera Dallas. Beth loved it.
Come visit us! We'll show you a great time!
