On The Road Again

Route 66 was a busy roadway years ago before it segmented into Interstates or was bypassed. The motel where I am is near I-40 on a bypassed section of Route 66. Back when, no one even heard of wifi. Here the old, old motels have the service and it's a little wonky--and slow. So we'll see what happens as I go along here.

As I resumed my travels, this day was a smile of good memories of visiting Jim and Nancy. Boy, we did a lot!. Jim doing yeoman service at the wheel of his Prius these several days. Saturday morning he took a break so he could join friends for his regular bike ride while Nancy took me to a fun emporium to shop. In the late afternoon we all went into Dallas for Mediterranean food, Sunday we returned to Dallas for a leisurely look at the sculpture garden, the Dallas Museum of Art, and the new greenway established above a freeway. All walkable. More good food happening all the time finishing with a delicious, outdoor  meal at a Mexican place not far from their home.

And, it got hot!

The artist James Turrell closed down his sculpture that had a sky view feature when some Luddite built a huge glassed in skyscraper next to the Museum that interfered totally with his concept--that and the loss of the lawsuit.

We walked along through a community garden back near Jim and Nancy's in the evening on our way to the Mexican restaurant. There we saw sculpture of a different nature.

I haven't seen Frost yet, but Nancy told me this is a character from the movie.

In the late sun kids and everyone else were enjoying the fountains...
