The amount of road construction is unbelievable. They must be going for at least 6 lanes in every direction for every interstate. No matter where we go we seem to pass through a giant tangle of flying ramps and bridges. Today the goal is downtown Dallas. Kent wound his way perfectly. Hey look, there’s a high school band. A float. More floats. Clusters of Misses in tiaras. Horses. The Marine Drum and Bugle Corp. Surprise, we just landed in the middle of the State Fair Parade staging area. We stayed to watch it of course..parades are always fun.

A bit of history, The Grassy Knoll overlooking the site where President Kennedy was assassinated.

A bit of paradise in the concrete and glass heat, fountain plaza. We could wander among 100 fountains and cascades repeatedly reflected in plate glass. A perfect oasis.
