This was the most beautiful and engaging film at the special exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Art. I thought it was spectacular.

I need to mention a few outstanding places for beer or for food and beer that we liked…

Our last rainy day in Dallas was spent at the Dallas Art Museum. We spent a good chunk of it looking at indigenous American art.

We saw some very thought provoking art at Dallas Contemporary.

We took a brisk morning walk along the Trinity River and over the historic Sata Fe Railroad trestle. We saw the most spectacular bird here, a Scissor Tailed Flycatcher.

We had some great meals in the Bishop Arts District, tasty tacos and mezcal margaritas at Veracruz, truly outstanding barbecue and sides at Lockhart Smokehouse.

We got lucky and got a big gap between clouds during totality!

Getting ready for the eclipse at our Dallas AirBNB.

We finished our downtown walking tour and headed over to Autonomous Society for lunch and beer tasting. We enjoyed chatting with a couple of experienced homebrewers while sipping our beers.

Today we did a downtown Dallas VoiceMap audio walking tour. We visited more than a dozen locations over the course of 2 hours.

Today we arrived in Dallas in hopes of seeing the upcoming solar eclipse. We started with some beer tasting at Oak Cliff Brewing.

Then we went over to the Bishop Arts District and tried a few tasters at Jaquval.

And then we hit the jackpot at Lockhart Smokehouse BBQ! We had pork ribs, chicken and brisket with various sides. Wow! It was absolutely fantastic!

Our last evening in New Orleans was spent at a wonderful communal dinner (3 couples) at Dakar NOLA with a long walk afterward.

Thanks for a good time NOLA! Hope to be back again soon.

We did another self guided walking tour of the Treme District today.

Beautiful day for a self guided VoiceMap audio walking tour of the Esplanade near City Park.

With a light lunch of gumbo and fried okra at Liuzza’s By The Track.

Cocktails at Barrel Proof with a great meal (pork ribs, roast carrots and hardy salad with horseradish dressing) at Cochon.

We biked to breakfast in Bywater at Satsuma with our friend (and local) Joanna. Then, an urban walk to our Airbnb.
