As we reached the golf course we passed this nice home. Our second checkpoint volunteers. |

Another nice home, this one has a round castle like room. The second home belongs to Dallas Mayor, Laura Miller. |

The log cabin is in the Mayor's backyard. And another nice home. |

The walk finished up by cutting across the grass back to the finish. Lenore and Carol getting their free t-shirts. |

After the walk we ate at Trejano's Tex-Mex Restaurant. This glass mural dates back to 1940. The strange building shown is in the town of Italy which is south of Dallas on I-35. Carol saw it on the way up, so we stopped for a closer look on the way back. It will be a restaurant and game room when it gets open. |
