One of the brightest days in Texas was the day, when we went to the ranch of our friend Don.

We had lots of fun there:

We also both tried on cowboy hat, coat and other cowboy closes. It was nice and funny experience of suburban life.

During our way to Don's ranch we had very unusual experience: riding the dark painted car in 90F (32C) without air conditioning(!). Now we know that 4x70 air conditioning (four windows down, 70 miles per hour) is not effective enough. How could people live in Texas before inventing the air condition???

After our arriving Dasha had her first driving lesson, while steak was cooked. First she drove the lawnmower — it is slow but interesting. Then Don started to teach Dasha basics of car driving in his old Datsun puck-up. Dasha is a smart pupil and the next day we made short "trip" by curved road to Don's mailbox and back (about one mile each way).

Most part of the next day at Don's I spent shooting all the weapons that Don had. It was funny and we had unlimited number of shell (bullets). Most of all I appreciated big Smith and Wesson.
