Beautiful Dallas Texas

Dallas Texas is a huge town though when I looked it was half the size of Seattle. It has some unbelievable skyscapers.

This is a Hyatt hotel. It was my favorite one.

Huge is the only word that can describe this one.

This is my second favorite building. It is the Wells Fargo building. It is really different.

If you ever get to Dallas a must see is the John F. Kennedy Museum in the Book Depository on the Sixth floor where that he was shot from. It is amazing. I teared up when they got to the point where he was shot. Do you remember where you were when you heard? I do.

They did not let you take any pictures and the crowds were heavy for a Monday afternoon. The museum was very well done with original film of the news accounts, even the original AP wire announcing JFK's death. Discussion of the conspiracy theories, personal interviews with news journalists, doctors, nurses and even some short films were shown to describe the events of November 23, 1963.

Dallas has more than thirty pieces of art work in the downtown area. We went looking. The one pictured below is by native Texan Rober Temple Summers II who was commissioned by the Dallas Trees and Parks Foundation in 1992 to sculpt three cowboys on horseback and 70 longhorm steers (each 130% of life-size). The bronze sculptures covers four acres in downtown Dallas in front of the Convention Center.
