I remember Route 66 for entirely different reasons.
Firstly, it was there that I got pulled over for speeding for the first and only time (yet!), but the cop was befuddled by my indian DL (the book) !! He actually let me go

We stayed at this small town called Tusayan, near the South Rim on 66. Smallest town I’ve ever seen. One gas station, one McD and a motel. But the amazing thing was that they had a bowling alley!!!
Good Memories.

You write very well. Keep going!

I just read the first paragraph and instantly three things came to mind – Arizona, Wild West, Route 66!!!

And then I read the whole post. Lo, I did quite well.

Very nice post…..it reminded me tons of stories!!!

@Vasuki,

Its one of my regrets..not being a country singer/song-writer.They are able to describe the beauty of life’s simple joys so well!

@BPSK,

My version of the camping story would read like this-
“I couldn’t sleep.I could feel the cold seep in from the ground.The sleeping bag was no protection against this mind numbing cold. Vasuki and Saif were sleeping peacefully. I felt like kicking Saif just to wake him up….”

The funny thing is nobody slept and everybody felt that the other two were sleeping peacefully

But the sleeplessness was worth it as I got to hear V howl!

Hi K, I remember reading about this trip on another blog, at least the camping bit.

Reading the post brought back memories of my trip to the Grand Canyon back in the late 90s.

Amazing post! The old lady could read you so well!!
If you were a country singer, you would have been forced to write a song “Cafe at route 66″ (inspired from “Phantom 309″ )
