Glass

Yesterday was mostly errands day. We went to AAA to get a "TripTik"; which is basically a little booklet with a route description door to door and maps and some background information. It probably doesn't add much to the information we already had but it's a comforting thought to know that we have it with us. We also tried to get an AT&T prepaid card for the iPad, but that appears to be impossible. So as consolation we went to a shopping mall and bought some cool clothes. The immensely cultural experience ended by another scrumptious meal which got Esther to decide that she was not ever going to eat again.
This morning, after Esther had breakfast, we went to the Dallas Arboretum which, in spite of the fact that it was a generous 100 degrees, was really nice. There was an exhibit there from glass sculptor Chihuly with some really spectacular glass objects scattered throughout the garden. On our way back we went to downtown Dallas and saw the place where President Kennedy was shot. We then got a tour of all of the places of interest in Joel's youth ("and this is where I had piano lessons"), which was moderately interesting but did make us feel very special 😉.
Below is a picture of Esther in the Dallas Arboretum; the weird red things behind her is one of the glass sculptures.
