Dallas, Texas

Typically Swiss we expected of Dallas to see Ranches, Cowboys, Longhorns… the same as when visitors come to Basel and think they see mountains, cows and chocolate everywhere.

But we found a very modern and vibrant city with lots of history, which we liked a lot.

One historical tragedy of course was the assassination of president John F. Kennedy. They have  cross marked the street where he got shot and in the building whereof Harvey Oswald fired his deadly shots, you’ll see a rifle marker too. Very impressive.. we had goose bumps allover.

  2. Good pics, as we have never been to Dallas–except in the movies ! It looks a lot like Wall Street area–narrow streets, traffic, but minus the crowds of people. Wolfgang Puck is a very creative chef. Puck was a sous chef at Le Oustau de Baumaniere in Les Baux de Provence–one of our favorite restaurants/hotel. The owner, Jean-Andre Charial, told us about 10 years ago, that Wolfgang Puck was a good sous chef for several years & now he’s made so much money in the US, that he offered to buy Le Oustau de Baumaniere !! Jean-Andre was not amused !!
