Wed. Sept 05 THE END OF THE ADVENTURE ON ROUTE 66

We finally have finished our trip on Route 66

The sign says it all.  This sign is on the Santa Monica Pier.  A young couple from Denmark took our picture.

Here we are in the parking lot by the Santa Monica Pier.  Mr. Smurf is happy to be here and the corvette is proud that it got us all the way here.

This is the entry to the Santa Monica Pier

Some of the Route 66 books say this is actually the official marker for the end of Route 66.

It has been a great trip and we met lots of interesting people and saw some incredible scenery.  We spent the whole day at the Santa Monica Pier and the Promenade in downtown Santa Monica which is a few blocks from the Pier.  The weather was very good today with lots of cloud cover which kept the temperature tolerable. 

We had lunch at Bubba Gump's on the Pier.  While we ate lunch we watched an unusual couple by the side of the Pier in the sand.  After lunch we noticed another couple watching this couple and went to see what they thought of the "happenings"  The couple were from Western Australia and we spent about 10 minutes watching the "sand couple" and trying to figure out what they were doing.  If want to know what we were watching----ask us to explain when you see us.

We returned to Pasadena to stay for the night and tomorrow we will head back to Barstow to see some parts of the Mother Road that we missed along the way.  We'll stay in Barstow tomorrow and on Friday head for the Grandview Resort in Las Vegas for a week of rest and relaxation before returning to Calgary.

We hope you have enjoyed following our trip on our blog.  We will continue to add to the blog tomorrow as well.  Thanks for following our blog.  It was fun and hopefully you enjoyed seeing where we were spending our time.
