Today is my last day in Texas! As a treat, my hostess's mum and we went out to eat at a local favorite, Cracker Barrell. It's an old fashioned American country store, so I got to see a lot of neat things, and the food was very good.
The giant checkered board! Lily taught me some moves, but it's hard to move the pieces...
The rocking chairs are big too!
This is some old fashioned candy. It looks like candy canes, but has different flavors, like licorice and strawberry.
The world's biggest Hershey's Bar! FIVE POUNDS of chocolatey goodness!!
An original sock monkey, a toy that was common for kids when Lily's mum was little!
Tricky Triangle game, one on every table, and original Stewart's rootbeer, a classic American favorite.
They had a real hearth and fireplace, like an old country home! but there was no fire, so it was safe to go near.
An oil lamp and an old picture taken in the early 1900's. I bet they never knew they'd take a picture with someone from Brazil!
YUM!!
And then it was time to go home and get ready to go to the post office.
First, one last picture with my first hostess.
Then I got in my box. Lily let me keep the one that Mamãe sent me in so I would have a piece of home with me.
Then Lily wrapped up my box and decorated it to look like the Texan flag, so that Szandra will know its me when I get there!
Here I go!!
