Visit to the Heartlands - Oklahoma City

Boy, what a busy two days in Oklahoma City! Flew out of Vegas on Sunday, all went smooth and on time, arrived to OKC in the evening, picked up our rental car (one of three on the grounds), a sporty Chevy Malibu, and, checked into the Sheraton Hotel Downtown. What a change to Vegas - temps about the same, but much greener, more quiet, less crowded.

Sunday and Monday we toured the city with our very knowledgeable OKC Tourism rep and had an interesting and good time. From several funky neighborhoods - Automobile Alley, Uptown, Midtown, El Paseo District, Plaza District, Wheeler District, Boathouse District ,,, (see below)
