Albuquerque to Amarillo

Today we stopped in Amarillo at a place called Cadillac Ranch which was HILARIOUS! They have these 10 Cadillac’s sticking out of the ground which you can spray paint so of course we had to get out our do our part….GRAFFITI!!! Some rich guy just wacked them there to represent prosperity…made it fun for us! =) We drove past the most massive heard of cows I’ve ever seen…and what does Ursh scream…..DINNER!! Why you ask?? Well….Oh my lord….anyone hungry??? Somehow, I managed to convince Ursh to enter the 72 ouch steak challenge in Amarillo, Texas! I’ve never seen so much meat in my life!!! Not only was she supposed to eat this massive 2kg steak but also a bread roll, salad, baked potato and a shrimp cocktail….all in 1 hour!!! So Ursh, and 3 male contiki goers get up on stage ready to go….and then…the steaks come out!!! Talk about sickening!! I felt sooo sorry for them all trying to eat that thing…..EWWWWW!! Not one of them finished which was a bit of a bummer but poor ursh came last!! She had 20 ounces left to go, and she didn’t even touch her sides!! Poor thing was so sick! I don’t think she is going to eat steak for a very very very long time! The closest guy had 8 ounces left. Ewww!!! We stayed in the hotel where the steak eating comp was, its called the Big Texan. I’ve never seen anything quite like this hotel before…was a crack up! We pulled up and saw all the different colours of the rooms…and then we opened to door and just laughed out heads off! It was a typical looking western room with cow print bed spreads and the wooden slated swinging doors to get into the bathroom. The lamp shades were made from bulls horns and it just continued on….I wish we stayed there longer!! Our cowboy hats came in handy for some happy snaps again…hehe such a crack up! We headed out to a club afterwards which was the weirdest and most massive club I’ve ever seen. It had like 7 different rooms, one for top 40 music, one for dance, one for country…and even a karaoke section. Ursh didn’t last very long, considering she had half a cow in her stomach, so I partied on the with the rest of the crew, and for some strange reason…I thought it would be great fun to sing Karaoke…WHAT THE!! Must have been the $2.75 tequila shots and $3.25 Corona’s that were altering my state of mind! Me and 3 of the girls decided we were going to sing Leanne Rimes Can’t Fight the Moonlight! Haha! It was fine when we registered out names cause there was like 5 people in the room…..but by the time we finally got on stage most of our contiki friends were watching…HOW EMBARRASSING!! And they said they could hear me the most….shame shame shame!! Ended up being a great night, although the clubs here shut at like 2am so we had to get cabs home after that! We got up and had breakfast…..well actually I had breakfast, Ursh still couldn’t stomach anything, and then headed on to Dallas Texas!
