Today was spent in Dallas and in Fort Worth.
In Dallas, we spent the morning touring the 6th Floor Museum at the former Texas School Book Depository building.
One of the things I wanted to do was to have a photo taken of me near where I stood in 1984. Got that done and here's the result:

There were quite a number of people there, but all kept to their social distancing while looking at the exhibits.
In Fort Worth, we had lunch at Billy Bob's in the Stockyards area.
I was amazed how built up downtown Dallas was. The much taller buildings that were built since my 1984 visit made Dealey Plaza look much smaller than I remembered. It felt like we were in a canyon of buildings.
Here's some highlights of the visit:
