Texas

Not a lot of Texas really - just Dallas and some of the countryside. It is big - like they say, "The sun is riz, the sun is set, and yet I be in Texas yet!"

Driving into Dallas on an expressway can be an exciting experience though! I think we still owe a toll because we got into the wrong lane approaching the booths and were on the electronic pay lane but there was no way to get back to a "money" lane. We knew to be careful but I was so concerned to make sure we weren't in the "no change" lane that I got into even more trouble. C'est la vie!

In Altus, they decorated the plane for Christmas!

Cotton fields in northern Texas - near Amarillo.

Cotton ready for transport.

It is a bit hard to spot - but here is a stretched limo, Hummer style. Only in America! Sorry I couldn't get a better picture, but you are not always ready for the perfect shot. Follow the orange arrow!!!

Dallas skyline. It has a lot of very beautiful 'glass' buildings.

It is one of the most beautiful 'modern' cities.

The famous 'book suppository'. It is now a museum. The roadway here is about where Kennedy was shot.

And this is the infamous 'grassy knoll' - just opposite where Kennedy was shot.

The Kennedy Memorial - not really the most moving. I think the symbolism must have escaped me.

They have some trams in Dallas - and guess where they have got one from???

This is the tram we caught for our trip into the 'burbs. It was Matilda.

Another memorial in Dealey Plaza.
