We were up early this morning for a prompt start for our trip to Dallas, allowing time in case we got lost downtown. Thanks to Glenys's planning and Google Maps, we arrived with no problem but 2 hours early. George W has not invited us to tea, YET!
I know the second picture is a bit cheesy, but an American offered to take it and I couldn't refuse (that's my excuse anyway).


We drove through a few of these complicated road systems on our way and at one time we were in one of the lanes of a 16 lane highway.


After checking in, we took the DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transport) train into the centre for a look round and just a few blocks from Union Station we came upon the infamous "Grassy Knoll" on Dealey Plaza. Tomorrow we intend to visit the JFK museum and memorial.



After just a few minutes there, it began to rain and we sheltered in the Old Courthouse Museum. It continued raining and then thundered and lightened for quite a long time.
