What a wonderful blog. I read your post out loud to my wife and we both chuckled. It reminded us so much of our time in the US last year, when we did our road trip. We also went to Amarillo and searched for Cadillac Ranch. While not the most pristine of environments, it is what it is, and we appreciated the art-scape immensely. What vision. A very unique installment of 'sculptures' that provided us with some excellent photo memories.
We met some wonderful people on our visit to portions of 'Route 66'. We happened across a couple of car shows and visited some 'antique' stores (more memorabilia than antiques) and laughed with the locals, commenting on their great southern accents. As visitors to the US, we were made to feel most welcome and enjoyed every day of our holiday. Our only regret was not being able to stay longer in some of the places we happened across that just had 'that feel' if you know what I mean.
Keep the reports coming please. It's great reading and very entertaining too.
