Dallas - Start of week 3

Arrived in Dallas on the what ever of August ...LOL...loosing track of days ...

Only had 45 seats ...
 
I hired a car ...

 
OMG its a Commodore ... NO!!! it was a Chevy  Impala - Niiiiccceeee
;-)
 

First day I go into Dallas and go to the JFK Museum.  See the place that stopped the world on the 22nd November 1963.  The book depository has now been turned into the "6th Floor Museum" dedicated to JFK.

It was moving seeing how it effected the nation and the world.  No photos allowed in the museum but were allowed to take a photo from the 7th floor 1 floor directly above the window where the fateful shot took place. 

Also to walk around the "Grassy Knoll" the location of where the car was when JFK was hit.
