Friday (5/15)  We are near Oklahoma City, OK and we had a lazy morning trying to catch up on the business of life - bills!!!  Spent the morning acting like responsible human beings and not two wild and crazy retirees.  In the afternoon we went to the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum.  Wow- another first class museum that had the greatest cafe to eat at.  There is so much history in the life of a cowboy and this museum covers it all from the 1300 examples of barbed wire (out of the 8,ooo samples they have of which in total there are 13,000 different kinds) to unbelievable paintings and sculptures (see picture.)

In the evening we visited Guthrie, OK, a small town that is known for its 400 blocks of historic homes and buildings.   We were underwhelmed - there were some great 1850s to 1890 buildings on the main streets (see picture) but other than that it was just okay.  Guthrie had served as the Territorial Capitol of the Oklahoma Territory at the time of the Oklahoma land rush.
