Fifth day on the road and we are now in Tucumcari, New Mexico. Much less wind today so the ride was easier, giving us a better chance to just take time to look around. 

Plenty of classic 66 signs and buildings, including a great looking diner in Santa Rosa complete with classic jukebox. On a sadder note saw a lot of closed businesses which gave pause to what dreams may have been left behind.

Staying at a Route 66 roadside hotel called The Blue Swallow, a must do for the Route 66 experience, completely retro. Friendly helpful owners who are the very best kind of people, for not only do they have two gorgeous dogs, but they ride Honda motorbikes as well. Nothing more needs to be said.

Hope to load photos tomorrow.
