Here we are on ROUTE U S 66.
The drive from Amarillo, TX to Albuquerque, NM was pretty flat and uneventful. Seen a lot of open range land with cattle lots. It's nice to be out of Texas and headed west.


I must say that I have so enjoyed my sister Cathy's comments on the blog and I really love reading her comments and wishes. Love you Cathy :D

We found that Albuquerque, NM had a Sheraton, so we're here for free ... Love that starwood point system. We are getting spoiled with these heavenly beds.

We really enjoyed seeing some of the old Route 66 but it was also sad to see so many businesses closed and falling down. We had a few discussions with the waitress where we stopped for breakfast. She was so excited as Joe continued to tell her our story about our travels, she kept saying, "Get out of here !!" Joe then got to talking about our stop in Sparta, NC, again it was "Get out of here !!" I almost starting making faces to Joe just to get him to look at me. He really had her going.
