So far everything has gone as planned, just a little slower.We joined up with Route 66 outside St. Louis, not inside, due to road construction all around the city. Not a perfect start, but who are we to complain. The road was thin and curvy and just right. We made it to Cuba, Missouri the first night.
We followed Route 66 through Missouri, into Kansas and then Oklahoma. We got into Oklahoma City after getting a bit lost, but finding our way to the Oklahoma City National Memorial, (the site of the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building). It was sunset and thunder was sounding in the background, as we got teary eyed, the rain began. By the time we got to the car it was a torrential down pour. We got lost in a dark deserted unfamiliar city. But we made it the 30 miles out of the city and into El Reno. A miracle, you decide.
Today we drove throught western Oklahoma, the Texas panhandle and into New Mexico. Moat of the ride is on vintage, bumpy, deserted Route 66. We made it to the Safari Motel in Tucumcari before dark.
The trip has been wonderful, but I am too exhausted to give the stories justice. AND Brian is waiting to go to the Pow Wow Lizard Lounge for dinner. And I would enjoy a cold drink.
I promise to write more later, whether you want me to or not.
