We started the day with another massive breakfast this time at the Waffle House, myself having the double blueberry waffle special, which I disappointingly was unable to finish (*hangs head in shame*), you'd think with two weeks plus in America I would be a pro by now. We then hit the twelve lane highway to central Dallas to check out the infamous Dealey Plaza and site of the John F. Kennedy assassination. After humming the Dallas theme tune and finding somewhere to park, we headed to the plaza on the way being stopped Sherman (or as he later became known Sherman the crazy German, even though he wasn't German) who was apparantly one of the museum tour guides on his lunch break and offered to give us a tour. We all saw through this, but he seemed friendly and slightly crazy so we went along with it and got the full tour of the assissination, and to be fair he certainly knew his stuff. It quickly became apparant he isn't a believer in the lone gunman theory and started going on about Jack Ruby and the mob and all sort of cool conspiracy theories. We all slipped him a couple dollars got a 'special' edition newspaper as well, all in all a throughly enjoyed Sherman the Crazy Germans tour and you totally look him up if your hitting the plaza (see picture).
We then hit this massive mall for some gift buying etc etc, all in the all the mall wasn't that impressive, it was a mile around and seemed to be filled with mostly shoe shops. Though I did find Marcus the Chuck Noris vs Mr.T handbook which is now currently his new bible, and also found him the giant rubber duck he's been searching for.Later in the evening we went to Walmart to stock up on those joyous things you just can't get back in England...for myself this was Rese's, cheap cigarettes and butter fingers, and for Marcus and Matt it was Lucky Charms and Moutain Dew and every other gloreous sweet and chocolate that we are deprived of in the UK.
No Mountain Dew in the UK, how do you survive?
