Sunday in Dallas

On Sunday we went to Dealey Plaza to see the Kennedy memorial and then up to the 6th Floor Museum in the old school book repository from which he was shot.  A quietly moving experience.  Very good displays and panels, an excellent audio guide and a slow moving and serious crowd of mostly Americans.  We learned a lot.

Kennedy Memorial
We purchased a picnic lunch and set off back to College Station and found a very well designed rest area where we rested and ate.   The traffic on the roads was very heavy and frequently came to a standstill (Thanksgiving weekend is when everyone goes somewhere else to visit family) so as soon as we could we struck off across country on quieter roads.
