You may ask yourself, "Why would you go to Tulsa?" You would not be the first to ask such a question, nor will you be the last. Kelsey and I have two sets of friends who live in Tulsa and each are getting married during the time that we will be in Europe. So we decided to come visit them before we head out.
The drive here was pretty uneventful. I wish we had taken a picture of the "DO NOT DRIVE INTO SMOKE" signs because they amused us. Maybe we will see them again on our way back to Texas before we fly out.
It has been raining pretty much non-stop since yesterday. We have been entertaining ourselves by visiting with our friends and walking around downtown.
Graham suggested that we drive by the Oral Roberts University. The buildings all look like an ostentatious 60's interpretation of what future buildings would look like. Quite odd.
We didn't get very good pictures because it was raining and we were too lazy to get out of the car. I think the building below is where they film and broadcast their televangelist show.
We missed the opportunity to get a shot of the prayer tower... or maybe I shouldn't say declined the opportunity.
Apparently Oral Roberts saw a vision and God told him to build a hospital in the middle of nowhere. The building went bankrupt and was turned into office buildings. It's just odd to see this towering building with no other tall buildings around.
After being sufficiently creeped out by the area, we decided to do some bouldering at the local climbing gym. The building used to house a dive shop so the back had a deep pool. The cool thing is that they used the bottom of the pool as the start of the lead climbing wall. Pretty smart!
