A Day in Dallas

My friend Eddie had to work today so I was on my own in Dallas for the day. I got a slow start - I had coffee and watched the news. Around 10:00am I left to go to a cemetery to find two letterboxes. One was from Boots Tex (part of the Texas Governors Series) and the other was a Puddle-Splasher box called The Mick. Both boxes were easy finds and very well done. After finishing with the boxes I enjoyed walking around the cemetery. I took some pictures and just walked. The cemetery was huge. And very peaceful.

By the time I was done at the cemetery I was getting hungry. It dawned on me that I hadn't eaten breakfast, I only had coffee. I set out to find a place to eat. There was a strip mall not far from the cemetery so I headed there. It was a lucky find - there was a Panera Bread. I had a great lunch - French Onion Soup and a 1/2 sandwich of turkey, bacon and gouda cheese. Sufficiently satiated I decided to head to White Rock Lake to do a little walking around the lake and to take some pictures. Yesterday when I was there I saw a ton of birds so I figured that I could get some good pictures. I spent about an hour and a half just wandering around. I have to say that it was such a relaxing day.

I'm back at Eddie's and he is home for work. We are cooking dinner and staying in for the evening. Tomorrow will be a busy day - there is a Mardi Gras celebration here in Dallas and we are planning to be there - it is the closest we will get to New Orleans.
