It’s believed that the shot(s) that were fired at President John F. Kennedy came from the sixth floor of this building which is the Texas School Book Depository. It would be the last window on the right side, sixth floor.
Lee Harvey Oswald was apparently the shooter. Of course, there are those who believe that it was a CIA conspiracy and that Oswald was merely a pawn. That’s all I really know about it.
The next photo is part of the memorial at the Dealey Plaza right near the infamous “grassy knoll” where there were several witnesses to the assassination. Dealey Plaza is now a National Historic Landmark.
The picture below that is of the actual JFK Memorial. It’s supposed to represent an open tomb. The picture really doesn’t do it justice. It’s quite impressive but it’s not at all what I expected a memorial to JFK would be. I don’t honestly know what I expected but it wasn’t this.
We wandered around that area for quite some time. There are lots of restaurants with outdoor tables and some “touristy” shops. It was a beautiful day so it was very pleasant.
Then we drove up to a picturesque little town called Grapevine. Lots of antique shops, gift shops, art galleries and places to eat. I highly recommend a trip to Grapevine if you’re ever in the area. I wish we would have had more time to spend but we did have to get back to our little friends, Pretzel and Kitz.
So Ta-Daaa! (or however you spell that) This is a picture of Pretzel and Kitz! Cute little things and they just love us. Especially me. Pretzel is the one in front. You have to be careful not to get Kitz too excited or she piddles. Just give her a quick pat as you’re fussing over Pretzel.
Tomorrow we’re going to Southfork Ranch – anyone remember the television show Dallas? Well, that’s where we’re going. I loved that show. Photos will be forthcoming, of course.
By the way, I think I’m getting the hang of this camera.
