Eat your heart out Ray Laprairie when you see photos of these two cars. They were both in mint condition.
We had not gone far west of Albuquerque when we found Route 66 heaven and had to stop.
Can you believe it--a Route 66 Casino totally dedicated to the Mother Road. The carpets inside were all about Route 66 and all the decor was also dedicated to the Mother Road. We had lunch here as well as lost some money in the Casino. It was a fairly new casino and very clean and well run. We really enjoyed the time we spent here.
We spent a lot of our drive today on the old Route 66 as it wound its way through the beautiful rock scenery of west NM.
Heike and Dirk--we did go to Acoma and Sky City. Unfortunately the visitor center was having water problems and was closed and they were not taking tours to Sky City. For those who are wondering, Sky City is an Indian town on the top of a mesa. They do not allow outsiders to go there on their own but do take tours. Beautiful country with lots of unusal rock formations. We were very disappointed that we couldn't take the tour.
The rest of the afternoon was spent making our way to Gallup NM where we are staying tonight. We saw a casino as we entered the town so decided to go there to try to win our money back. Stupid idea--right!!! This casino was very busy. The maximum capacity for the casino was 7,750 and 7,748 of the people there were either Navajo or Zuni Indians. It was easy to find Vicky in the casino???
Tomorrow will see us heading into Arizona. Hope everyone has a great Labour Day weekend and go Stamps go against the Eskimos on Monday.
