Home Time

We're back! And we even managed to depart LA on the planned day (but not planned flight)....very full flights are the norm at LAX. After the last trip, we expected to be a day or three late.
We covered over 3000kms in our trusty Dodge, doing nothing but adding fuel and cleaning windows. The lack of tourists on most of the (original, old) route was surprising, but there were plenty of cross-country travellers in motels at the end of each day. Obviously the interstate freeways have more appeal with their 75 mph speed limits than the older, slower "Mother Road".
I just have to come to terms with no longer making Route 66 jokes : "there's a girl my Lord in a flat bed Ford" or "is this the way to Amarillo".... 
Thank you for reading.
