Tulsa

Friday, March 25th   Arriving in Tulsa, we found bright sunshine, mid 70's. We took a lovely bike ride in River Park, a twenty mile bike/walk trail on both sides of the Arkansas River south of downtown. The blossoming trees and many animal sculptures enhanced the ride.


We woke up Saturday to a shock! 40 degrees and drizzle. We put on our jackets and went on our way.


The highlight of the Tulsa sightseeing was a visit to the Gilcrease Museum, a world class collection of Western Art. I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the paintings and sculptures by Remington, Russell, Moran and others. Even Jack was impressed. The 23-acre grounds around the museum were in full spring bloom.

We did a driving tour of downtown to see the many Art Deco buildings but the drizzle got in the way.
We're now cozy in the coach watching a NASCAR race.

  1. Envious of the bike ride in Tulsa. Congrats on adding a link to your blog - the western art museum.

    Wondering where you are now.
