We are finally in the desert, on route 66, singing and laughing and stopping at all sorts of points of interest on our way to Flagstaff. First ten minutes on 66.
-tumbleweeds roll in front of us...
-radio plays wicked old 50s tunes
- I sing everytime we see a route marker... soooooooo gooooood!
We stopped for lunch at a place called the Last Stop cafe, it looked like it too....wow......classic diner/bar with double swinging saloon doors and met a family taveling from Venice, shared lunch with them and then back to the road....
This is daiv at a place called the Hackberry General Store......seriously cool, snapshot of time of route 66 memorabilia.....
Yup, this is me....feeling super coollllll...even though it is super hot, but a good 'dry furnace blast of heat', kind of hot..I like!

Seriously...how cool is this place? Hackberry General Store...exactly what route 66 should look like.
WE continued to Flagstaff and settled in to a friend's place where we can daytrip around from for then next 4 days or so....
Today saw us at the Navajo Nation's Cameron trading Post looking for the perfect Turquoise.
We found some....tee hee..... must sleep now...more to come.
Tomorrow is the Grand Canyon...whooot!
I just love how you and Daiv can meet random strangers everywhere and make new friends, have lunch etc.

Glad you are having fun!!!
