A Nice Day Out.

A Nice Day Out.

The Andaman Restaurant, Denton

So we needed a change so earlier this week I saw there was lecture to be given on the development of trains in the North Texas area. I thought this would be something that Mike might be interested in and of course as it was about TRAINS he certainly was. So off we went to the Old Texas Courthouse in Denton where we heard a so-so talk on the train system. It's a lovely old building and it was interesting to hear what the lecturer said in the less than an hour presentation. I did find it interesting that he said unlike today the population in North Texas developed because of the introduction of the rail lines which brought business and people to the area in the 1800s. The road system on the other hand went to the populated areas following the rail road.

It was worth going just to sit quietly and listen for a while .

Afterwards we took a short walk down from the square passing some interesting old buildings and had lunch at a delightful Thai restaurant called the Andaman. It was very quiet and pleasant and interesting. 

The food was lovely and the jasmine rice, great. I had never had that before and really liked it. It was a good compliment to the sweet and sour stir fry meal. We enjoyed a nice house wine, a Pinot Grigio,The young waitress was attentive and all in all I thoroughly enjoyed our day out.

We will have to do this again.

Not much else you can do in this heat!!
