Interesting three-wheeler with a V8 engine. Just for fun!

Nice little 250HP fishing dinghy specially for Mike Telmarkes the Fly Fishing nut.

Building on the left is the Texas Book Depository in Dealy Plaza, Dallas.

The Grassy Knoll from where JFK was mortally wounded (says I!)

The point of the first bullet to impact JFK and Connolly

Just in front of the pedestrain is the point from which the 8mm film was shot by Zapruder

Although slightly screened by trees, the 6th floor corner window is visible.

The first bullett impacted here

The Zapruder plaque at Dealy Plaza close to the point where he was standing.

Some of Jayne's friends selling Adirondack chairs at a street market

A FAT wheeled Mongoose available online and at exclusive stores (apparently). It was great fun to tool around Waco, go to the Farmers Market and see the sights of this little city with more stores than people! Had a wonderful weekend with sister Jayne. Will blog a photo of her in the next episode. Now onto the road for a 2 day drive to San Diego via El Paso. The looooong road accross the very South of the USA with a CD book to keep me company for the long and lonely road! Continuing the journey.
