Photos from Dallas

The last time I stayed in a hotel with the census, it was just some hotel in Philadelphia. This place reminded me of the huge convention hotel we stayed at in Atlanta for the World Science Fiction Convention in August, 1986. It has a bank of glass elevators.

Going up (a pic from inside the elevator).



The elevators from the vantage right out side my room.



My cousin Roger is a marketing/branding manager at the Dallas CW affiliate (if you said "What's CW?" he just cried a little). Both nights I was there, he came and got me, taking me to dinner. Monday night was a Tex-Mex place. This picture is from the balcony at a place called "Smoke" Tuesday night. See the little tiny glowy ball on the right side of the photo? That's Wolfgang Puck's restaurant at my hotel.



I went for a walk (to buy some food so I could make lunch/breakfast rather than buying it), and saw some interesting places. These blue lights were really pretty, but hard to see in the day time.



I'll bet these vines are really pretty in the Spring. There were some neat-o icicle lights hanging from the trees with "dripping" lights that ran down the lengths. Again, not so cool in the day.



Thanks Brother-on-law Bob for the suggestion to seek out Dealy Plaza. It was *really* cold that day, so not fun to walk around and look at the sights. That red brick building is the book depository.



Sunrise through the huge slanting front window of the hotel.


Boy am I glad to be home.
