This morning we put on the GPS for Dallas but told it to avoid highways so we had a very relaxing drive through farmland. We got a kick when we drove through Penelope on our travels since Penelope is looking after our house and cat while we're on this trip.
We had noticed a couple of dome shaped small buildings but didn't know what they were. Then we saw what looked like a small village of them so we had to turn around and take a closer look. They are studio rentals in Italy, Texas apparently and are made of canvas rather than cement as they appeared to be from a distance. They are treated as apartment rentals after 30 days. Would have loved to see the inside!
We then arrived in Dallas and went directly to Dealey Plaza. After seeing literally a hundred shows about the assassination of President Kennedy, it was incredible to see all the places we've heard about and seen in photos and videos. We went up to the museum on the 6th floor of the Book Depository. It's a self-guided audio tour and you can literally spend many hours there as there is just so much information. They don't allow any photography in the museum but on the 7th floor there are a couple of windows looking down on the Plaza and so I tried to take some but they didn't turn out too well because of the sun, the dirty window and the fact that I couldn't put the camera directly on the glass so . . .
