Day 13 - Who shot JFK?!?

As we awoke up in the light we found we were in Fort Worth about 30 mins outside of dallas. We drove into dallas city centre for breakfast at alocal cafe. The sun was hot and I instantly felt like a was burning.. At90F it turned out I was!

We went for a tour of the 6th floor museum..what was th Dallas bookdepository, where Lee Harvey Oswald allegedly shot President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. I decided to do it properly and took the audio tour.About half way round I had tears running down my face as I watched thevideo and saw the pictures of one of America's great Presidents being shot.I can see why many Americans have suggested that Obama may get shot.. not because he is black but because of his forward, different, liberal ways of thinking..there are a lot of similarities to the things jfk was saying over4 decades ago.

After seeing some of the evidence I can see why there are so many peopleand books suggesting it wasn't Oswald that let of the fatal shot.. But then I'm quite sceptical about a lot of these things.. Who is responsible for sept 11th, was Princess Diana's death an accident? Did aliens really landat Roswell?

Moving on ... After seeing the grassy knoll and the 'x' spot where JFK wasshot we headed to see some bronze cowboys for photo opps before heading tothe library to use the internet. You get 55 mins free, tho u have to sharethe space with some of dallas's more crazy crackers giving u funny looksand comments.

After getting our facebook fix we headed out of dallas to meet Steve'scousin, wife and daughter for dinner at a true texan steak house..which turned out to be australian, oh well the steaks were still bloody good! Despite the kind offer of a place to stay at Steve's family's place for the night we decided to get back on the road and as close to austin as possible.

2.5 hrs into the drive it was almost 1am so we stopped at a random motel just outside a town called Troy for the night and decided to drive the rest of the way in the morning.
