6TH FLOOR MUSEUM

We drove on to Dallas and had to go to see where JFK was shot, in downtown Dallas. No photography was allowed inside the building. History is recorded in a very good way and now we understand why this part of JFK's life wasn't included in his presidential library in Boston-it takes a whole museum to cover all the story. Besides the actual shooting, it shows the family's and countries grief, and the investigation of the killer from many angles and commissions. This is the building where the shooter was on the sixth floor.

This is the window. It's a creepy feeling looking out to see where he aimed.

There are two x's on the street so you can see where the shots hit him. It was really weird that when I was taking the picture of one of the x's, an ambulance went by. The x is in the middle of the street, right across from the front passenger tire.

It is a very eery feeling. Do they still have only 2 stops on the elevator? No stops in between.
