It’s good to be surprised when you travel. Most of the time, as tourists, we get directed or transported to all the significant places, or we use TripAdvisor, or a city guide, and we set off to see the sights with a sense of purpose. So when you just chance upon something amazing it can be oddly moving. It happened to me in Dallas when I was simply mooching along a sidewalk minding my own business. This cattle drive at a road junction turns out to be the biggest bronze artwork in the world. I had never heard of it! It commemorates a nineteenth century cattle drive that took place along the Shawnee Trail, and it consists of 49 larger-than life cattle and three mounted cowboys. It is quite an astonishing piece of work in an otherwise fairly dull city. Mooching can pay off. You heard it here.
