Roma was a bit of a surprise. We greatly enjoyed learning about the history of the gas industry there, especially through the night sound and light show. The first gas found just flowed out for five years, until Roma installed gas street lights. It was such a marvel that people came from miles to see them. And then the gas ran out, just 10 days after they were first lit!
The other highlight was the free tour of the massive cattle sale yards. Experienced retired cattle men took us through the yards, up on the top, and explained the whole process, including the auctions, the huge scales, and the electronic tagging of the animals. Fascinating!
