finality..

at the midpoint of route 66 there was this truck that you could sign....so fantastic

lots of corn fields

great signage

leaning water tower

the penske way...and it worked like a charm

stopped at plenty of love's...figured the cute logo deserved a shout

a gas pump that i wanted to bring home with me

we almost got into trouble with these guys

never knew we grew so much rice in the united states! the rice fields were gorgeous

always crack up at how many times you see this sign in tn

we had rain for just a few minutes the very last day...it was so refreshing

...we are back as of last night, and we had such a memorable trip! it was such an interesting thing to drive across america... see the landscape change daily....see different kinds of people...how they live..where they work..and to relive history on route 66...which proved to be a favorite with signage and photo ops galore....but it also left me feeling a bit sad about the run down and closed up little towns....wish i had all the money in the world to get them up and running again...

i feel changed somehow by all that i experienced....and hope to hold on to the journey...
 ...it is almost weird to be home, i still feel like i will be heading out tomorrow to discover a new city... but it is  good to be home all at the same time...

...looking forward to catching up with you all...
