Adios Texas

Back in Dallas after a long freeway drive from Houston of 5 hours. This city is known as the site of the assassination of president Kennedy in 1963. A sniper shot him as he passed through the city in a motorcade. We went to the top floor of the book warehouse, now a museum, where the sniper fired from. It was very sad to be in the spot where the death of a president so shocked a world that had such high hopes of him. We have had an amazing journey through Texas, meeting lots of Texans many of whom admit we have seen more of their state than they have. The contrasts between the big cities and the desert country of the Mexican border are amazing. There is a lot of American history here and constant reminders of the early settlers who founded this great state just over 150 years ago.
