Gnome Does Dallas

Gnome standing outside the Dallas School Book Depository, currently the Home of the JFK Assassination Museum and the Dallas DMV. This was the unfortunate location of the murder of the former president.
George Bush Turnpike. God Bless America!

The eerie window on the 6th floor of the building formerly known as the Dallas School Book Depository where Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated the then President JFK.
The view Kennedy's motorcade saw as they closed in on their last 100 feet before shots rang out.
The infamous Grassy Knoll where a 4th shot has been rumored to have come from.

100th Post! Embassy Row and National Geographic

On my 100th post we went to the National Geographic Museum where they had two exhibits, one on travel photography in Western Europe, and the other was on Lions and Leopards. Next we headed to St. Matthew's Church where we saw where JFK's funeral was. It was a very pretty cathedral. Lastly we wandered around Embassy Row for a couple of hours.

A Mosque on Embassy Row. Some Crazy cab driver was chasing us around the streets.

Embassy Row, Felt like I was in Europe, not Washington DC.
