Actually it was pretty good. They had about 10 huge pizzas each of 5 different combinations.

Apparently the health department will be here today. Apparently we need to have people use tongs. This is great sport for us.

 And if the sport should go out of watching people dealing with tongs perhaps you could provide them with chopsticks.

Don't want to ruin the sport but would a spoon be any easier?

What if they were in individual paper 'cups', like many boxed chocolates or like the paper cups on Reese's pb cups?

Gloves?

[curls]

Looks like breakfast is bigger in Texas. Looks tasty but also like there might be lots of leftovers.

Got em - don't like wearing them.

[Kerry Beal]

Took a little walk after breakfast - didn't allow for Bhavhani wearing a suit coat in this heat.

 

 

 

Do like gargoyles!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Soon enough it was time to start again. 

 

 

 

The hit of the day was the Montreal Steak Spice with Frito bark.

Invited to join some of the vendors for dinner - at a place called Undermain. BBQ was brought in - we grabbed some a headed on to the roof to eat. Sadly only took video on the roof so can't share.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not much light up here on the roof!
