Well, Saturday arrived in Amarillo and so did Cindy! I was happy to pick her up at the airport so we could start the Thelma & Louise adventures on this, her first weekend of being single. Our first stop: Route 66 Historic District in Amarillo.
We were expecting an 'open road expanse of highway' version of Route 66, but we didn't see that until Sunday. For Saturday, we were in the historic part with tiny antique shops and the longest continually operating restaurant on Route 66 and the oldest restaurant in Amarillo - The GoldenLight Cafe!
It felt like the "Cheers" of Amarillo/Route 66 - apparently some of the same old men hang out here in the afternoons and have done so for years and years. So cool!Everything was 'vintage' - but it is all of the original stuff from the many years it has been open (64 and counting)!
Here's Cindy, right before we left to go shopping.....
This is the historic Route 66 district in Amarillo.....
And here's my proof that I really did 'get my kicks' on Route 66!
