Back in Amarillo, in our journey coast to coast by the United States retook the Old Historic Route 66 west, which do not leave until Phoenix in Arizona and, later, we return to its end at the pier of Santa Monica , Los Angeles in California.

Route 66 in this area share routes with Interstate 40. After losing some time, for real this time, we finally find the exit of the famous Cadillac Ranch Amarillo.

This is a place where there are half-buried in the ground ten old Cadillac cars. To find them, you indicated that you will find on the south side of Route 66 (I 40), about 9 miles west of Amarillo.

The Cadillac Ranch was built in 1974, following the idea and directed by Stanley Marsh, a millionaire thanks to the helium industry and owner of the wheat field full of dust which are placed those Cadillac.

Marsh and The Ant Farm, a San Francisco art collective, assembled used Cadillac representing the Golden Age of American cars (1949 to 1963).

The 10 cars, decorated with graffiti, are half buried by the front, facing west “at the same angle as the pyramids of Cheops.” This spot, whose access is free, has gained much fame, and the ground you will see many cans of paint graffiti. It was an experience say that “funny.”

We ate at a Dairy Queen route, establishment exclusively staffed by ladies of a certain age, all very nice.

We continued our route and arriving at Santa Rosa, we tour the town.

Santa Rosa is primarily a transit and rest. The population is small and has about 500 inhabitants residents. There are plenty of motels, hotels and restaurants, as it is half a tourist be on Route 66.

Then we also visited Santa Rosa Lake, about 10 miles from the town, a beautiful place.

After 5 days and 4 nights we left Texas, which we really liked. It occupies a vast plain and generally note the high economic level.

Texas takes you back a sense of spaciousness, long road, quiet, few cars, peace, harmony in the environment of a beautiful and generous nature. In some parts of the route are extracting oil pumps, which channel them towards a system carrying around storage tanks.

As a small anecdote about the day in the museum shop of the Palo Duro Canyon a woman has struck a bestial cry at the thought that he had brought in a picture that I was doing. He has apologized very much. As I said not to worry, that nothing happened, which would make another picture.

Her husband said that the cry had scared everybody, which was true: we had a terrified.

Today we covered the first 3.000 miles (4.827 km) trip. Great day, clear, sunny, hot, but nice.

We sit in 200 level seating (club level) where you have menus and waiters who carry the food and drink, and numerous semi-exclusive options if you’ll get out of your seat. The second night, we sat in field level seats that were just as well. Seats a little tighter than the Club level, but the views were so clear of the stadium, the store building and Baltimore skyline.

We take the stadium tour (reserve in advance) and our guide, Mary, was incredible. A Baltimorion and obsessive fan, she spouted facts about the people, the park, the hall of famers Ruth and I were very entertaining. For example, so I know that there are two Owls in the stadium to help keep bothersome birds away —¡¡ to look, they are always there.
