And many of the Texas lady guests also wore black and heels. LR, however, did not. I appeared in black patent flats (but they were okayed by Annika, for God's sake), a longish cream and red print dress, and a pair of damned old horn ...

... and it is an area filled with bars, restaurants, museums, and tourist spots. There are cowboys on horseback in the streets, and there is a cattle drive twice a day.
