Dallas

We had a little bit of time for sight-seeing before I had to drop off Bud for his conference on Monday. Our first stop was the impressive collection of longhorn statues downtown:









Then it was on to Dallas's most famous site, Dealey Plaza -- the place where JFK was assassinated.

This is the former Dallas School Book Depository, now known as the Sixth Floor Museum. It is believed that Lee Harvey Oswald fired upon JFK from the far right window on the sixth floor. (This is a seven-story building, so the sixth floor is the second row of windows from the top.) Kennedy's motorcade was traveling on the road just behind Uncle Bud.

And this is the famous "grassy knoll." It's smaller than you think it would be. The area with the trees is where people believe the second shooter was hiding.

Thanks for visiting Uncle Bud! It was a lot of fun.
