Fun in Bricktown Oklahoma City

Aug 2nd,  2008 - After we reached Oklahoma City and rested at the hotel we decided to go to the nearby Bricktown area. The Bricktown area in a reconstructed part of downtown Oklahoma City where they converted the old downtown into a place where they could attract tourists and locals to come and have some fun. We walked a couple of blocks to the Bricktown area and it was terribly hot (over 100 degrees)

The Bricktown area has a water canal and we decided to take a ride on the water taxi. The taxi was full of people from other parts of the country like California, Texas, Missouri and Oklahoma. There was a nice lady sitting next to me and I probably bored her with my jibber-jabber but she did not seem to mind. On the water taxi ride, we saw some nice restaurants, paintings, waterfalls, sculptures etc. The ride must have been about 30 minutes. We got off the taxi and took a walk around Bricktown before heading back to the hotel. It was just too hot to do anything. 

By the end of the walk, I was red like a tomato.
