Day 2, May 4, 2009

Today I got the chance to explore Dallas, Texas. Well, I say "today," but I'm actually writing this on Tuesday from the breakfast table at Denny's in Seagoville, TX as I wait for my friend Kenny to meet me. I'll be doing the long North West Texas stretch all the way through Amarillo to Albuquerque, NM today. Anyway, back to yesterdays re-cap.




I have been to Dallas before, but that was 20 years ago. It's amazing how much Dallas is like Atlanta, just a wee bit bigger, more wide open, and I have yet to find a hill. I drove into downtown, parked on Elm, and walked around for hours taking in the sights. I walked up and down streets and all the way across town to Dealy Plaza... Oh, the grassy knoll is a slight hill. There ya go.




I shot some video, but I am having some issues with it. I'll try to figure it out and post it when I get to Albuquerque. There wasn't too much going on here. I saw two cab drivers start to argue over a fare. I had the camera ready in case anything happened. I guess the big stories while I was there: 1. The Dallas Cowboys practice facility that was destroyed in a storm on Saturday, and 2. The schools that were closing due to the swine flu.

I really like Dallas. I could live here, almost did take a job here a few years back, and probably will live here at some point.

UPDATE: I've been on the road all day and just made it to Albuquerque. The sun is just about to set. I'm going to get my camp set up, cook some burgers, and then start a new entry for Day 3. Be back in a little while.
