 I use a lot of links, and only thumbnail images open in a separate window. Middle-click or right-click a link to open it in a new window or tab.  

Since last winter went so swimmingly, let's try it again! TFS has very graciously opened her home in the west San Fernando Valley to me again. This time her daughter AS (and dog and cat) are there too. Two women + two dogs + two cats = not my usual solitary winter again. Huzzah!
Place name links like Los Angeles, CA go to Wikipedia. Place name links like Los Angeles use a local tourism or government website.

Went for a tour of some of Downtown Dallas to see the easy sights and get acquainted with the place. Like many downtowns, it's a place with not a lot of activity on the weekend. Most of the people wandering about were from some national cheerleading championship, little girls with dramatic grown-up girl makeup and over-done hair wearing their outfit/costumes. I was tempted to sneak some pictures to give you an idea of how odd they looked but that was, well, to creepy even for me.

Seems I wasn't inspired enough to take many pictures, but I'll try to venture down there again. The system of one-way roads doesn't make the place very car-friendly, a theme that was to haunt us further in subsequent forays.


 
   

 
    Old Red Museum , a local history museum, across from Dealey Plaza . We collected a lot of tourism brochures but didn't visit further.

 
   

 
   

 
    Dealey Plaza, site of the assassination of John F. Kennedy , the Grassy Knoll, and the former Texas School Book Depository , now The Sixth Floor Museum . We didn't partake of much except the
gift shop, where I was (disappointedly) unable to find a JFK bobblehead doll.
