Dallas and Fort Worth, then Waco

Downtown Dallas is strange. It's like being in... err... Drammen. Only it's bigger. A lot bigger. We parked our car at a central parking lot this morning and went around for a while. We saw the Kennedy memorial and then headed for the JKF museum. It's nice having a history lesson like this when you're actually on site, beeing able so see the road, having the view from the window where Lee Harvey Oswald (apparently) fired his rifle, and a lot of videos and pictures from the actual happening, the investigation and to see how Oswald was killed and so on. After a nice and long walk downtown Dallas we headed for a city called Fort Worth. Or is it a city? It really looks like an amusement park, all made like a cowboy town in the middle of... another town. This must be funny in the summer with lots of tourists around. We had a really good dinner in the H3 Ranch, a somewhat strange, but good restaurant with great spare ribs, served with corn and beans. Just after sunset, we headed further south and camped outside Waco at another Super 8 motel. This motel got a swimming pool and a jacuzzi, so we'll try that out, and tomorrow we'll head for Austin. Goodnight ya'll.
